Stainless Steel Brake Lines
I know stainless steel brake lines are hard to come by these days, but I talked to Marcus at Heeltoeauto, and they will be selling stainless steel brake lines soon for the RDX @ $119 a set.
If we get enough interest, I wonder if we can get a group buy going. $119 is pretty damn good price, I paid like $150 or something for my TSX. |
I gather there isn't enough interest?
|
Think that you may have to give it a little more time maybe.
|
I'm in, when the time comes.
|
I think i paid $80 for mine.
@ gruppe-s / dynamic autosports in lake forrest Ca. Mine were the first their vendor in San Diego made. very reputable race shop. lines have been great. |
Thanks for the feedback BH!
|
I would like to get in on this, brakes feel weaker now with more miles on it.
|
How much would installation be for the brake lines? I'm not comfortable trying to replace myself!
|
good choice but i just got rid of my RDX i decide to go with the new TSX....

It'll depend on the shop.. how much they charge for labor, and how much labor (hrs) they will claim to do. Also you'll need to buy fluid. It takes a good amount. |
I just got my brake lines from heeltoeauto.com. I have a TSX and he's pretty much the biggest broker for us at tsx club. He custom made RDX brakelines through a company that makes lines for TSX's, RSX's too. I paid about $110 or something for these. These SS brakelines are rare and hard to find.
I'm putting Motul brake fluid in place of the stock brake fluid. |
The brake lines are easy to swap out with stainless ones. You'll need to buy a couple pints of brake fluid and you might as well flush out your old brake fluid with new fluid in order to get the most out of the modification. It's a fairly easy project. AutoZone, Pep Boys and other shops sell a one person brake bleeding kit. You put the hose over the nipple and squeeze the hand pump until all the old black fluid is out and you no longer see any air bubbles. Make sure you do not get any brake fluid on the paint as it will ruin the paint. I did the stainless swap on two different cars I've owned and you feel a minor difference in pedal firmness unless you go to the track often.

Any report on pedal feel or stopping power?
