As the factory rubber lines heat up under repeated hard braking, they expand under pressure, so part of your pedal effort balloons the lines instead of clamping those Brembos, and the pedal goes vague right when you're braking hardest into a corner. 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 lap after lap. On a car built to be driven hard like the FK8, it's one of the most worthwhile brake upgrades you can make.\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 hard 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 the harder and more repeatedly you brake and the hotter everything gets, which is exactly what happens on a track day.\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 Brembo calipers. The result is a \u003cstrong\u003efirmer, more responsive pedal with a consistent, linear feel\u003c\/strong\u003e that holds up under hard, repeated braking where rubber lines go soft. 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, especially the firmness that holds through a session, the difference is immediate and genuine. On a car with brakes as capable as the FK8's Brembos, firm lines let you actually feel and use that capability instead of masking it behind spongy rubber.\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. Stainless braided lines hold up far better over time than rubber, and they look the part under the car too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGoodridge is the name in braided brake lines, developed for motorsport, 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, so they're properly certified, not 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 covering both front and rear, 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, mating to your factory Brembo calipers with no modification. It's a straightforward swap, you're replacing the lines one for one and bleeding the system.\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\u003e2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComplete kit, front and rear, with hardware. Direct fit, mates to factory Brembo calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the FK8 Type R owner who tracks or hard-drives the car and wants a brake pedal that stays firm and consistent instead of going soft a few laps into a session. PTFE-core stainless braided lines that don't balloon like rubber, a complete front-and-rear kit that mates to your factory Brembos, motorsport-grade certification, and durable construction that outlasts the aging factory rubber. It won't shorten your stopping distances on its own, but it keeps the pedal firm and predictable when you're braking hard into every corner, which is exactly what you want on a track car. Bolt them on, bleed the brakes, and feel the difference on your next hard stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8). \u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e braided stainless steel brake line kit, complete set (front and rear). \u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e PTFE inner line, stainless steel overbraid, 3,000 psi rated. \u003cstrong\u003eBenefit:\u003c\/strong\u003e firmer, more consistent pedal that holds up under repeated hard braking; 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, mates to factory Brembo calipers. \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 \u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2016-2020 Honda Civic \u003c\/span\u003e\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":"Default Title","offer_id":68616853585954,"sku":"GOO-20039","price":245.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/14517967.jpg?v=1792003013","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/goodridge-g-stop-brake-lines-17-21-civic-type-r-fk8","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
