I would replace your brake lines, even with just OEM lines. It's a 2003. I would assume that they are now 16 years old.

They're fairly cheap parts and easy to do. Those are parts that you replace preemptively, not after they have failed. A failure could be catastrophic. I don't cheap out and eff around with brakes - between that and tires, it's the most important part of the car.

The stopping part is far more important than the go part.

Also for reference... robrob would disagree with B serious...

As for brake fluid, ATE Type-200 is way more than sufficient for your intended uses.

Ordered SS braided clutch line and ATE Typ 200 fluid.

SS brake lines will follow in a couple of months...

Science of Speed SS brake lines fit like OEM and no more chance of them rubbing than the OEM units if installed properly with the OEM suspension (they have tabs that bolt up in OEM locations). Just make sure you install correctly (follow the instructions) and have no leaks. Personally, they improve the pedal feel and are safer than old OE lines.

I've had their lines on two cars with tens of thousands of street, autox, and track miles between the both with no complaints. With aftermarket coilovers you will need to zip tie the lines to the body of the front shock unless they have provisions to bolt the lines to them, but I've had no clearance issues with the zip tie route.

It's been a long time since I read that robrob thread about that individual Cale's fatal accident, but B Serious did say a few posts ago that he would change to SS lines for track use.

If I had an '03 and didn't know it's history, and would not be tracking the car, I would upgrade to OEM Honda lines.
