Default S/S brake lines

I am just about ready to install my new brakes at all
corners
it will contain accord V6 calipers up front (same as
itr) and 11" by .83 rotors

the rears will get 11" rotors with the caliper moved
out.

The question is should i get Stainless steel lines. I
saw them for about 100 dollars shipped at some online
stores.
Is there a peticular brand I should get or stay away from? I figured either earls or goodridge lines are good stuff

And also, are there any bay area dealers that have the
Porterfield R4S brake pads? I am in the east bay
(danville) so idealy san jose and oakland are about as
far as I want to drive.

Don't know about Earl's, but I like my Goodridges.

I heard you can put zip ties along the brake lines to give it the same effect. When the brake line expands, the zip ties hold it in place preventing it from expanding. Anyone tried this before?

Yeah, earls or Goodridge are good. You might want to invest in some speedbleeders as well (http://www.speedbleeder.com). It makes things much easier.

Are you upgrading your brake master cylindar? Those are awefully big calipers to push. What kind of car are these going on?

(BTW, I'm going the ITR brakes on my CRX as well)

The Earl's brand has apparent fitment issues. The Goodridge lines are a easy swap and match up perfectly.
