Hey guys whats up? I have a 2013 Civic Coupe LX and I am looking to upgrade the brake lines to braided stainless steel ones. Only problem is, they only make them for models with rear disc brakes e.g. EX and Si.

I guess my question is, will either of the brake lines made for those models fit on my LX Coupe? Is there a way to make it work?

Please help!

 

They should work as I believe the EX and LX share the same front brakes... only difference is the EX has the rear brakes.

Just a quick question are you planning on tracking the car? Cause for a street application the stock ones will do just fine. If you are planning on tracking then I would got for it.

Make sure to pick a good brake fluid.

 

That was my guess, but I still want to be sure before buying the lines. And yes, I have been tracking my car and I want to continue doing so, but right now my brakes fade very very quickly. I just ordered a set of Hawk HP Plus brake pads and figured I might as well swap out the lines and fluid too.

What do you think would be the best way to find out for sure if they will work? I tried checking multiple forums as well as calling tire rack, a few honda dealerships AND Goodridge which is the company that makes the stainless steel lines, but I still haven't gotten a concrete answer from any of them.

 

Honestly I believe they will work no matter what. Why cause it's the brake lines on both the lx and ex.

The only thing is you will have the rear ones which you won't be able to use. I would keep them just in case you decide to do an upgrade for some rear ex or si as they are both the same.

 

I appreciate all your help. I'll do some more digging on the matter and let you know what I come up with. The other option I'm looking at is getting custom ones made by HEL Performance USA | Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

 

sounds good!

I think they will work... I'm pretty sure!

 

I would compare part numbers from Honda between LX and EX. If Honda says they're the same part, then aftermarket parts will work. You can use Honda Automotive Parts
