Default Newbie... brake question

I'm just strating to get into autoX with a 91 CRX. I need some help upgrading the brakes. I think I have decent braking power with sedan EX knuckles and calipers, rear drums, and EX master cylinder, but I would like to have better feel. I have tried changing out brake fluid between events and that helped some, but not quite enough for my taste.

Any opinions on stainless braided hoses that replace the flexible rubber lines at the caliper?

Is anyone running one of these https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=811297

Anything else out there on the market?

I am trying to eliminate any useless play in the brake pedal so I can more accurately determine how close I am to locking the wheels up. I'm interested in that MC brace - it's the first on the market for the ED's. Anyone able to provide some first hand experience with one of those - I would apprecitate it!

I got the Goodridge steel braided lines and they work great!

i have steel braided in the front and it helped out a lot. theres a huge improvment in the braking feel at the pedal.

Cool - I ordered a set of stainless lines this morning. I'm now anxiously waiting for them!

So nobody has experience with the master cylinder brace? It looks like it's a breeze to install and it doesn't cost much either.
