Honestly, stock is the best unless you just want the bling. And I track my car a lot too. I have had ZERO problems w new stock lines...braided stainless, no matter the brand, in my opinion is just not as good as OEM honda.

Beat me to it, DOT approved or go home. This is something that just shouldn't be skimped on.

I have run stock OEM lines for 5 years with no issues!

It amazes me the placebo effect SS lines have on people "dude I notice my brakes were firmer"

kingmotorsports sells some that are good, I'm using them rite now. but like Toad said, I can't tell a difference, but this like anything associated with your safety; you should not skimp on it.

Remember, OEM brakes line will tend to swell up/expend when the brake fluid gets "hot" on the race track. So good quality SS braided lines will prevent all of that and keep the brake pedal OEM firm (not firmer). For street use, totally useless.

Also depending on what track you drive, braking zones may be less demanding. So, OEM brakes lines may just be fine.

if the eBay lines in question are the ones with the blue ends and are from a Canadian seller they are ok. I have been running them for 6 years. They are made in canada they aren't Chinese . No problems here

If you get your fluid that hot you are not managing the systems of your car well. There is no point to get the fluid that hot.

Especially in an EF.

the reason everyone is so sure stainless lines do wonders is because they were on an un-bled system filled with OLD fluid before.

Now they have these magic lines and a fresh bleed with new fluid.

take it from me. the bleed and new fluid is what they are feeling.

You also have to factor in that brake lines will deteriorate over time, and most of our OEM equipment has been around exposed to the elements since the Soviet Union. The simple act of replacing the lines for a set either OEM / quality aftermarket would allow for less expansion and a slight piece of mind upgrade.
