Now I know in day to day driving the brakes are fine but how about when the driving gets "aggressive", like down on the Dragon for instance. Is this something our car would bene"fit" from, especially with rear drums

 

If you've already upgraded pads & fluid . . . maybe. But probably not.

 

Pedal feel gets 100x better than stock, especially with upgraded fluid and a freshly bled system. Kept the stock brakes on my old Sentra, but upgraded to Goodridge lines and RBF600 fluid. Pedal went of spongy on apply to absolutely rock hard. It was like a brand new car.

 

I'm going to see how the car does down on the Dragon this fall and go from there, but one thing I know is this, the car needs wider tires for spirited driving though. I'm really used to going in and out of turns and trusting my tires to get me through without incident....and these don't, but it has more to do with the width IMO.

Once I change the lines and fluid I'm sure I'll notice a big difference, always have when doing this. Now we just need the complete list of OEM Honda parts to do a complete rear disc conversion, that would be nice

 

Ordered my SSBBL from tirerack...

I'll poke back on this thread and make a DIY.

 

update:

braking power has increased. I only upgraded the lines, nothing else.

stock brake pads and stock tires (18k miles) are going soon (~5-8k) and still feel very confident in average canyoning.

 

The only time I have used SS brake line was on a Harley FXWG that I had put 18" ape hangers and 8" risers on.... Even with all of the extra length the front brake remained hard with no sign of mushiness.... After losing traction on all 4 wheels in a curve while trying to gain on another Fit with very soft rubber compound tires I have reached a conclusion that on smooth or slippery pavement tread material is more important than tire width.... I just picked up some 205 45 15" tires with softer compound and less aggressive tires than the grand touring stock size tires that are now on my car so I will see if my present conclusion is correct or not, or maybe not since they are both wider and have softer rubber as well as smoother tread that puts more tire surface on the road.....
