Product Description

The Wilwood 221-17414 is a front stainless steel braided brake flexline kit built specifically for the 2004 Volkswagen R32, designed as a direct replacement for the factory rubber front brake hoses on this single-model-year Mk4-platform performance hatch.

The braided stainless construction with a Teflon-lined interior resists the expansion that rubber hoses develop over time and under hard braking, delivering a firmer, more consistent brake pedal. Being DOT-approved, this kit is legal for street and highway use, not just track applications.

This kit covers the front hoses only - R32 owners looking to replace both front and rear lines will need a separate rear flexline kit for this platform. Since the 2004 US-market R32 was a limited single-year offering, confirming your specific model year is worth doing before ordering if there's any uncertainty about which R32 generation you have.
