Is changing to braided SS line easy too? Nothing I should worry about?

Spend the extra $10-20 on the appropriate sized flared brake line wrench and then it will be easy!

That will totally cover you! I prefer the actual wrench head flare to be thicker, but I'm spoiled that my Dad was a self proclaimed tool-whore who had a Snapon truck make weekly visits LOL

TPColgett, do you track your car?
On July 19th there is 3 balls racing HPDE at waterford hills raceway, I am thinking to take my Fit, although I already signed up for the Boss 302
My problem with the Fit is, it just does not feel confidence inspiring when it comes to high speed turns despite the mods I already did.
I don't know what you think

The Goodridge lines are a great product!!! Might as well do it all at once!

Previc is a circuit guy, so that's a different story.

VERY true... I still do my best to use as little brakes as possible for AutoX though... The Fit does not have any low end grunt to speak of, so if you brake too hard (anything below 3K RPM) you loose ALL the power band.

I went with Hawk HP+ pads for 2 main reasons. 1 I know they will survive/suffice for a simple spirited track day like an HPDE. 2 they have excellent initial bite, and I tend to brake late and hard

late braker here also. I would take out a few cones if the brakes were left alone. But, the Fit does not turn when on the brakes.

+1 on that. Now I just tap them to front load the weight for better grip and get the rear to start stepping out
