not enough to feel too much of a difference on streets, but i know i have them and need it if necessary.

tracking otoh, i have confidence to brake last minute.

forgot what brand, but i'm using a dot 4.

I have them as well. Installed back in late '09 or early 2010. Initial install was complicated only by the fact that goodridge packed the wrong front brackets with my kit and I couldn't get them to line up with the holes to save my life. One quick call later and a new set of proper brackets were on the way. More important than the lines were the new cryogenic treated rotors and Hawk HP+ pads installed at the same time. Brake dust from hell with those pads, but amazing performance. 40,000 miles later and everything is still working great. Go for it.

Need to get this exact setup on my GD ASAP... OEM equipment after 73K and repeated AutoX is not very happy with me LOL

Just like replacing your washer water hoses with braided lines. Over time last thing you want is a flooded laundry room when the rubber hoses give. The peace of mind and stakes go up of course if you track your car.

Coupled with upgraded rotors and pads, as mole said, nice to know you can brake late...

OK... I'm trying to get this done on my GD.... But for the life of me I cannot find a kit from anyone other then MUGEN ($$$) or TechnaFit... Since I have never heard of TechnaFit...

Can any one point me to a "reliable" kit for the earlier Fit?

Haha well if they can hold up to repeatedly stopping a pig of a Z they should last for an in comparison "feather weight" Fit

Nice, I have a set on my 5.0 and they really helped the brake pedal feel.
