You would think that the Type R couldn't get any better brakes than what came from the factory, but unfortunately that's not the case. Cost saving reasons stopped the factory from adding Stainless Steel braided brake lines to the perfect the effectiveness of the Brembo Brake Kit.
Factory rubber brake lines expand when the brake fluid gets hot after several hard stops - you can tell that fluid is boiling and lines are expanding when the brake pedal travel get's longer / spongy. Stainless steel braiding stops the lines from expanding to give you consistent brake pedal feel.
Goodridge was the first company to produce braided stainless steel brake lines for automotive use and established them as the standard in motorsport around the world. Quality in unparalleled, and to walk the talk I have been testing tested these brake lines on my 2017 Honda Civic Si sedan that sees occasional track use, and frequent spirited driving since August 2019!

Installed these SS lines alongside Paragon 2-piece front rotors, Paragon R5 front pads, and DOT 4 fluid. Initial bite is great and the brake pedal is firm and consistent, even under heavy track use. After some small adjustments by hand, these lines fit inside of my 18x9.5 +45 offset wheels (Stock suspension, 2020 Civic Type R)
Note that after installing, you should have someone turn your steering wheel to full lock left and right, while you watch how the brake lines flex to confirm that they're not contacting the wheel at any point.
Thank You, Yusuf! We have the same year FK8's, same set of mods, and same wheel spec even :)
Really appreciate that you attached pictures for everyone's reference. Btw, if you're looking to further improve the brake pedal feel we also have the Verus Engineering Brake Master Cylinder Brace, and it stops the Master Cylinder from pushing forward when you apply brake pressure! It's on the website too :)

On the track the CTR brakes felt spongy after a few sessions and were not giving consistent brake feel. Installed the SS lines and the brakes felt a lot more solid even while driving on the street. Tracked the CTR twice with the SS lines and they are an excellent upgrade to the brake feel and performance for endurance racing.
