I've been speaking to Goodridge today and I've found out some useful info about the difference between 91-96 hoses and 97-05 hoses.

Goodridge UK only do 91-96, which have cut-lengths of:-
Front 536mm
Rear 437mm
(I was told add ~60mm for fittings, meauring from the centre of the banjo to the end of the fitting)

In the US they do both 91-96 and 97-05, but won't use the US template "in case it's different in any way". Standard policy for all cars, which can make sense.

Anyway, the US 97-05 cut-lengths are:-
Front 21.625in (=549mm if my maths is any good)
Rear 18.25in (=463mm)
...so 1/2in and 1in greater than the UK 91-96.

Goodridge are also happy to make-up bespoke sets, at a cost of £18+VAT per hose (stainless fitting), plus postage. I'll let you know how I get on with mine when they arrive...
