Re: who up graded their brake lines? (BrokenLimits)
didn't have much luck with Earl's....
Have the Neuspeed (Goodridge) lines on the R with a yellow silicone jacket
Using Technafits on the Civic. I like them very much.
Endless/APP are on another level..in terms of price and quality....their lines must use a very fine stainless steel mesh (think Mugen micromesh) because they are very flexible....almost like a rubber hose which is good.
My Neuspeeds are all kinked up on the driver side cuz I suck at patience and didn't get it straightened out properly....whereas the APPs and Endless lines I've installed before went on really quickly because they are flexible.

Re: who up graded their brake lines? (Mythias)
I've been running the Goodridge lines for approx. 30k miles with a couple dozen track days.
I regret not getting sleeved lines, I inspect mine every time I change my oil as a routine. I will be replacing them this summer.
IMHO there isn't any need for upgraded lines unless you are planning on doing some auto-x or HPDE's/track days.

Random no-name ones here 
. No teflon protection. I'll be checking them soon to ensure their integrity. If they're hooped, then I'll replace with some ballin' ones

Ditto.
When I replace mine they will be with Stoptech since they are coated and a quality product.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're making a drag car out of your ITR.
I would recommend sticking with the stock lines, as braided lines are simply one more item that can fail on a drag car. If you're not doing HPDE's or autocrossing, there's no point to upgrading the lines. Even if you are doing those type of events, the change is only a slight one and many people have problems with a mushy pedal after installing lines.
FWIW, I run the Mugen lines.

Re: who up graded their brake lines? (TypRice)
I switched over to the Techna-Fit lines over summer when I did a brake overhaul. Can't beat the price.
I've also used the Goodrige lines, but they did not have the protective outer silicone coating.

If a piece of dirt gets stuck between a weave and happens to make its way towards the line, it can expose the line and cause a leak.
This was unknown to me when I originally purchased my lines, but after reading the story about an NSX wrecking during an HPDE due to faily SS lines, I made it a point of making sure that doesn't happen to me.

ss lines dont leak, they burst when they fail
unfortunantly i had one fail on my at T-5 at Arizona motorsports park back when it was still open. Had there been a wall there i wouldnt be here today.. Went straight off track at 120+ when my brake pedal went straight to the floor

i had one burst on me on the street one time, thanksfulley i was at a stop light and i was just "testing" how "strong" the brake pedal was... then all of the sudden it sank to the floor..... a few hours late i eventualy got home, thankfulley my car was obviousley a 5speed or that drive would have been hard
get coated lines or coat them yourself my were not coaed and eventualy got enough wear to brake at a weak point
