The stainless steel brake lines will firmen up the pedal and reduce brake fade after repeated stops.

How do they reduce fade? I get the firmer pedal but I don't see how it would help to reduce brake fade.

By the power of exaggerated claims and false advertising.

Additionally, the SS brake lines only marginally improve brake pedal feel. If it were that simple, then all manufacturers would install them from the factory.

Here is a short discussion on brake fade and feel.

actually, the reason why it doesnt come stock on more vehicles is because its more expensive.

for if you're wondering the 1st gen RDX comes stock with SS lines.

You clearly didn't comprehend what I said.

The vendor stated that SS brake lines reduce fade. That is a patently false statement.

SS brake lines will improve brake pedal feel slightly but the difference is slight.

As far as a hatred towards performance mods is concerned, that is also wrong - but - one needs to determine if the costs of the mods are actually worth it or are they incorrect assertions made by vendors and owners who want to believe the claims.

Lol my comprehension was based on a compilation of "ceb" replies.. Not just this one in specific.. We ALL (well maybe not ALL yet) know how much you love the "2nd gen tsx performance mod" section.. I don't pass judgement on one sole post but I do see a trend with your replies.. IMO you obviously do not feel a tsx should be heavily modified, do I comprehend that?? Or should I just assume you just specialize in commenting only when contradicting, I don't see any "ceb" posts in the flashpro thread, or turbo build thread, or any other thread where you have nothing adverse to say... U have to be a lawyer lol

Not saying I disagree with everything you say ceb, but it seems your sole purpose for replies in any thread seem to be only for a rebut
