    Braided hose mix up?

    Personally I would not add joints into a braking system, to 'bodge it' Change the pipes all the way through with correct ends on make a much better job for the cost of a bit of pipe and some joints fronts are easy to change any way

    Rubbish fuel Economy (or not)???

    The "book" mpg figures are taken on a rolling road i.e. no air resistance and you are driving a brick no car will meet the "quoted" figure as these are manufacturers selling points

    Replacement shocks

    personally I would replace the dampers as well, "de-carbon" would be my choice that way you have new dampers that you know are good internally and will last as long as your springs
