Under hard or repeated braking, the rubber lines flex and expand under pressure, so part of your pedal effort balloons the lines instead of clamping the brakes, and the pedal goes soft right when you're leaning on it. These Goodridge braided stainless lines fix that: a PTFE inner line in a stainless steel braid that doesn't expand, so the pedal stays firm and consistent. On a CL7\/CL9 TSX driven with enthusiasm, 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 as the factory rubber ages.\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 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 a pedal that stays firm through a session, the difference is immediate and genuine. On a well-balanced sport sedan like the TSX, a firm, predictable pedal is exactly the kind of sharpening-up the car responds to.\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, which cracks and degrades with age, and they look the part under the car too.\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 certified, 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 with the hardware to fit them, so there's nothing else to source. The hose ends and brackets are vehicle-specific 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 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\u003e2004-2008 Acura TSX (CL7\/CL9)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComplete kit with hardware. Direct fit, works with factory calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the first-gen TSX owner who drives the car hard or tracks it and wants a firmer, more consistent brake pedal instead of one that goes soft under repeated braking. PTFE-core stainless braided lines that don't balloon like rubber, a complete direct-bolt-on kit with all the hardware, proper certification, and durable construction that outlasts the aging factory rubber. It won't shorten your stopping distances on its own, but it firms up the pedal and makes hard braking confident and consistent, exactly the kind of upgrade that suits this balanced sport sedan. 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 2004-2008 Acura TSX (CL7\/CL9). \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 that holds up under 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, works with factory calipers. \u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e FMVSS 106, DOT certified, TÜV approved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003e2004-2008 Acura TSX \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\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2) Front Brake Lines\u003cbr\u003e(2) Rear Brake Lines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\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":68740689362978,"sku":"GOO-20105","price":171.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/5258821.jpg?v=1792162955","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/goodridge-g-stop-stainless-steel-brake-lines-04-08-acura-tsx","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
