I finally got those stainless steel brake lines installed on my 2009 Acura RDX Crystal Black Pearl Technology Package with the Taupe Perforated Leather Trimmed Seats 🔥!
Pictures to come soon as well as more modifications inside and outside of the vehicle to come 😈!
Installation of the four brake lines was $435 and full flushing of the brake system with new oem fluid was $60 so all together $495. I know it’s a little expensive but I can trust the work and you can never be too safe with your brake lines!

They’re definitely a braking improvement for sure. The brake pedal feels a lot more firm now. I’d say they’re definelty a well worth it buy. I can definelty stop a little shorter now. The braking totally feels stronger over all.
Discalmer: I also have aftermarket rotors and pads but I do use oem Acura brake fluid. I can post the information on the rotors and pads if you guys want me too. With links and prices just let me know. The pads and rotors are not just for looks either. Even though the cross drilled and slotted rotors I use look bad ass. I also chose a pad that had great grip and fade resistant but was quiet. I have loud brakes it’s not worth it for a street daily driven vehicle.
More photos of the brake lines because I know everyone likes photos straight from the site I got them photo credit:@Heeltoe_Automotive

I’m hoping to upgrade my turbo next by changing the turbine to a larger 20 Trim Billet Compressor Wheel & having it clipped then machined for better flow. That should get me another 30 AWHP & 40 AWTQ.
Didn’t even need to use these pig tails on the new 800cc ultra high performance injectors. The old stock boring injectors & crusty hard rubber o rings. Only 410cc talk about low performance!!! Old sad fuel pump from the stock RDX & the filthy fuel filter. Old sad dirty fuel filter & stock RDX fuel pump.

I never got the intake manifold gasket installed from Hondata it wasn’t worth the work for the lower intake air temperature right now.
The only problem with the turbo upgrade is tuning issues. You have to tune it with the Hondata software on a Windows laptop. But for the best results you need to do it on a all wheel drive dyno. It’s hard to find a great tuner that has a awd dyno & is good with the Hondata flash pro.

The two screws on each rotors were seized in place and we had to drill them out. What a pain that was to do not putting those back in again that's some dealership bullshit. I'll post up a picture of old vs new rotors and take installed pictures another day. That video was great and I like it a lot that old mechanic is hilarious and the RDX does hold on pretty good with age. The stock rotors and brakes last long but they are not slotted or drilled so they get hot.
