As rubber brake lines age and heat up, they expand under pressure, so some of your pedal effort goes into ballooning the lines instead of clamping the brakes, and the pedal goes vague. These Goodridge braided stainless lines fix that: a PTFE inner line wrapped in a stainless steel braid that doesn't expand, so the pedal stays firm and consistent. It's offered in versions for rear-disc and rear-drum cars, so pick the one that matches your Civic's rear brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePick Your Variant: Rear Disc Or Rear Drum\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important thing to get right before ordering, because the EM2\/ES1 Civic came with two different rear brake setups that use different lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear drum\u003c\/strong\u003e is for the DX, GX, HX, Hybrid, LX, and Value Package, these cars have rear drum brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear disc\u003c\/strong\u003e is for the EX and Si, which have rear disc brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrder the version that matches your actual rear brakes. The quickest way to be sure is to look at your rear brakes: discs (a rotor and caliper) means the rear-disc version; drums (a solid drum over the hub) means the rear-drum version. Go by what's actually on the car rather than just the trim, since a car could have been changed, getting this right means the lines fit your setup correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Braided Lines Firm Up The Pedal\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what's actually happening, and what these do and don't change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRubber brake lines flex and expand under the pressure of braking, and that expansion is what you feel as a soft, spongy pedal, part of your foot pressure is stretching the lines instead of applying the brakes. It gets worse as the lines age, and on an 01-05 Civic, the original rubber is well past its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless braid around these Goodridge lines doesn't expand the way rubber does, so all your pedal pressure goes straight to the brakes. The result is a \u003cstrong\u003efirmer, more responsive pedal with a more consistent feel\u003c\/strong\u003e. To be clear about what braided lines do: they improve pedal feel and consistency, they're not a substitute for better pads, rotors, or tires if you're chasing shorter stopping distances, but for how the brakes feel and respond, the difference is immediate and genuine, a noticeably firmer, more connected pedal than the soft factory setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePTFE Core, Stainless Braid\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is what makes them firm and durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach line is a \u003cstrong\u003ePTFE inner line\u003c\/strong\u003e (which handles brake fluid and heat without degrading) inside a \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel overbraid\u003c\/strong\u003e that provides the firmness and protects the line from abrasion and corrosion. On a car this age, that durability matters, the braided lines won't crack and perish the way the factory rubber has, so it's a long-term fix, not another rubber line that'll age out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGoodridge is the name in braided brake lines, and these go through a nine-point quality-assurance process, each line tested for tensile strength and pressure-rated to 3,000 psi. They meet FMVSS 106 (the federal brake-hose safety standard), are DOT compliant, and are TÜV approved, properly certified rather than just a cosmetic braided line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eComplete Kit, Direct Bolt-On\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything for the install is in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete set of lines\u003c\/strong\u003e with the hardware to fit them, so there's nothing else to source. The hose ends and brackets are made to match your factory design, so it's a \u003cstrong\u003edirect bolt-on\u003c\/strong\u003e replacement for the rubber lines, using your factory calipers (or wheel cylinders on drum cars) with no modification. It's a straightforward swap, you're replacing the lines one for one and bleeding the system, and on a car this age, fresh lines and a brake bleed make a real difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey're ABS-compatible, and on ABS-equipped cars they also help reduce the pedal chatter you can feel through soft rubber lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2001-2005 Honda Civic EM2 (sedan) and ES1 (coupe)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear drum\u003c\/strong\u003e (DX, GX, HX, Hybrid, LX, Value Package) or \u003cstrong\u003erear disc\u003c\/strong\u003e (EX, Si), select the version matching your rear brakes. Does not fit the EP3 Civic Si hatchback. Direct fit, works with factory brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the EM2 or ES1 Civic owner who wants a firmer, more consistent brake pedal and to replace the decades-old factory rubber lines in one go. PTFE-core stainless braided lines that don't balloon like the old rubber, a complete direct-bolt-on kit, proper certification, and durability that outlasts the perished factory lines. It won't shorten your stopping distances on its own, but it tightens up how the pedal feels and holds up. Check whether your car has rear disc or drum brakes, pick the matching version, bolt them on, bleed the brakes, and feel the difference the first time you push the pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2001-2005 Honda Civic EM2 (sedan) and ES1 (coupe). \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e EP3 Civic Si hatchback (separate kit). \u003cstrong\u003eVariants:\u003c\/strong\u003e rear drum (DX\/GX\/HX\/Hybrid\/LX\/Value Package) or rear disc (EX\/Si), match to your rear brakes. \u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e braided stainless steel brake line kit, complete set. \u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e PTFE inner line, stainless steel overbraid, 3,000 psi rated. \u003cstrong\u003eBenefit:\u003c\/strong\u003e firmer, more consistent pedal; eliminates the sponginess from flexing rubber lines. \u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e full set of lines with hardware. \u003cstrong\u003eInstall:\u003c\/strong\u003e direct bolt-on, works with factory brakes. \u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e FMVSS 106, DOT compliant, TÜV approved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2001-2005 Honda Civic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cli id=\"InstallGuide\"\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Goodridge","offers":[{"title":"Rear Drum","offer_id":68481933606946,"sku":"GOO-20025","price":171.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rear Disc","offer_id":68481933639714,"sku":"GOO-20022","price":171.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/5260615.jpg?v=1791905590","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/goodridge-g-stop-brake-lines-01-05-civic-dx-ex-lx","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
