Fastline Performance Brake lines - RDX application needed?

Hi there dudes. I think Fastline is going to expand the hydraulic hose lineup and I was wondering if some DOT certified lines in distinctive sheathing for a reasonable price around $100 would be of interest.

Rotora seems to be getting some backlash in the industry now so I don't want to rely on them as a source of brake parts for the time being. Since we already get hoses made, why not do these too?

Marcus, I'm sure you will not have a problem selling these despite how slowly the RDX section moves I've seen others looking for options in the past.

So to close the loop here, we did get these made and keep them in stock:

I got these installed along with dot5.1 brake fluid and modified the disk brakes on CNC (x-drilled). Braking improved A LOT. Mostly the fading you feel after driving it hard for a while due to heat.

It feels like my brakes don't start to activate or "catch" until I press the brake petal down about an inch. At that point, it's still not a spongey feeling (does that make sense?). I have to press pretty hard for braking and feel like the petal is close to the floor.

I had new brakes/rotors installed at around 50,000 miles, had brake fluids flushed. I just got new tires (53,000 miles).

What else can I do to improve breaking performance and get better/earlier responsiveness from the brakes?

who bled your brakes? sounds like they werent done correctly.. i havent installed on the RDX but on my tsx i have them and they are stiff and very responsive.

side note some brake pads are more spongy then others when it comes to initial bite.

Actually it takes a hulluvuh lot to boil fluid. The stock pads break down before the stock fluid boils.
