Brake Lines.... - Honda Prelude Forum

LudeTec · 06-20-2002, 02:38 AM

Hey,
I have a ton of pedal fade when my brakes warm up. I have power slot rotors, and Axis metal master pads. I was thinking of getting some steel braided lines, and some synthetic fluid. That sound good? I was originally gonna go with Goodridge, but I am now leaning toward Neuspeed. The Neuspeed have the outer casing keeping dirt from getting onto the hose. Anyone have experiance with either of these. I searched but there isn't really any good articles on this topic. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh

I would go with some that have the clear platic cover, that is what I had on my last car, a 93 Probe GT

I have the goodridge lines, since the outer casing is Stainless steel and no one can really see the lines I saw no point in going nuespeed. The install was pretty straigt forward and I have no pedal fade at all. This is the only pic I have of them installed

yup stock calipers painted with Folia tech paint

Brembo drilled slotted rotors. I dont autoxx so I can't say I have had a good chance to use them. best thing I can say about the whole brake setup is that even after 2 hours of stop and go traffic I still have no brake fade and no mushy pedal

well when i stop very fast i get this hardcore shakin from the steering wheel like its about to take a detour through my drivers side window. very badly warped rotors. i think its time for some brembos

I did powerslot rotors, aem/nissin pads and goodridge ss brake lines... dramatic improvement in braking... i love it! Pedal feels firm and in control...

Before going with new brake lines and rotors, I would try some new pads and, more importantly, bleeding your brake lines. I bet that will cure a ton of that fade your experiencing.
