Master cylinder/brake lines
After this winter I will change the master cylinder including most( not to say all) of the brake lines( inside as outside) I just would like to know if there is a H-T sponser that sell that or what site should i go to get good quality prices other then egay.
Thx

Why? Is your master cylinder failing?
Why are you replacing "most of the brake lines"?
I'd personally either buy the lines pre-bent from Honda - or pick up a bender, flaring tool, and some hydraulic lines and fittings and make my own.

there is rust on some of the internal brake lines... its because during winter you wear boots right? to help melt ice we put salt..... since i drive manual i need to press the clutch and when i am not pressing the clutch i put my foot on the left side. Then the carpet gets wet of the salt water mixture... what do you think is under that side hun? most of the metal lines which rust a little by little.
also it seems that the previous owner droped some brake oil next to the master cylinder lines and never cleaned them. guess what is happening.
and yes my mastercylinder is starting to fail on me i need to push more and more to get the same braking power as my dads si which has a clean braking system.

Just because there is some surface rust on the lines doesn't mean you need to replace them all. How badly are they rusted?

Brake fluid removes paint. I don't see what that has to do with replacing brake lines.

That doesn't mean the MC is failing. If you still have consistent pedal feel and the pedal does not sink while stopped, your MC is good.
If you have to push increasingly harder on the pedal to get the same braking power, either the coefficient of friction between your pads and rotors is down (possibly glazed pads, worn out pads, glazed rotors), or your hydraulic system need to be bled (possibly air in lines, boiled fluid).
