SS lines

[pd0019]

hey corsports,

what exactly is the difference in the 06 brake lines that we cannot use them on 07+ civics?

thanks.

i had this problem as i ordered them without looking.. so i spoke to Remy and Tai and they said they should fit the fronts, however honda may have welded the rears.. which could cause the issue, so i'm going to test them. Will let you know once i see what the issue is

^ keep me updated! thanks

anything else i need to know corsports?

there are several issues. first issue being honda welded the rear bracket to the car. this bracket holds the rear brake line in place.

however, honda stopped welding it and uses a bracket without clips. the bracket is crimped to the stock rubber line. you can remove the bracket and stock rubber line but you will have no bracket to hold the new ss lines in place.

there are other other manufacturers (goodridge and russell) that includes a custom bracket with clips for their ss lines. you remove the honda bracket and stock rubber lines and replace it with the custom bracket and clip from goodridge or russell.

the last issue is that technafit does not make a bracket or clip yet, but i emailed remy and tai about this issue and they said they will contact technafit and get back to me. this was last week.

I have yet to hear from techna-fit -- we have emailed them again today.

I assume the 08's are going to need a bracket or other modification to hold them up (zip ties?), the 07s are welded (about 50% of them), the 06's are normal. But yes, the lines "fit" all 3 years.

Tai, which is the bit i need to look at where it is welded or not?

This bit?

[CorSport]

^Nope. Unfortunately.

Tai, got mine installed on my 07 sedan. The fronts were a quick swap out, no issues.
The rear was welded, however 10minutes later and 2 custom brackets ( easy to do) and it was problem solved.
