Honda Civic FN2 Type-R Steel Braided Brake Lines

The SUPERCIRCUIT Steel Braided Brake Lines made for the European Version Honda Civic FN2 Type-R for better braking response and stopping power.


To access to the front brake hoses, remove the front wheels of the Honda Civic FN2 Type-R as shown in the picture below.


The below picture shows the factory stock rubber brake hose of the front right hand side of the Honda Civic FN2 Type-R. Rubber brake hoses have the tendency to expand under high braking pressure and while the brake fluid is cooking (over heated), hence delayed the braking response.



To counter the shortfall of the rubber brake hoses, the SUPERCIRCUIT Teflon core with braided stainless steel around it does not expand or swelling under such condition, so the braking performance is maintained even under very high operation temperature and extremely high braking pressure!

The below picture shows the front right hand side of the Honda Civic FN2 Type-R brake hose being replaced by the SUPERCIRCUIT Stainless Steel braided one.


Please take note that there are in total f4 pieces of rubber brake hoses at the rear of the Honda Civic FN2 Type-R. 2 pieces are located at slightly above the rear axle and the other two are at each rear calipers.

In order to get the optimum braking benefits from the steel braided brake lines, all 6 pieces of the factory stock rubber brake hoses are to be replaced by the SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided brake lines. 

This is the rear left inner rubber brake hose and the second picture below shows after it is replaced by the SUPERCIRCUIT steel braided one.



In the pictures below, the Honda Civic FN2 Type-R rubber brake hose at the inner right side of the rear axle and that being replaced by the steel braided one. 



The other two rear rubber brake hoses are at the rear calipers, one each for the rear calipers of the Honda Civic FN2 Type-R.



The length of the brake hoses and the angle of the fittings are carefully calculated and simulation of the movements on both front and rear suspension and steering is taken into account during the development of this brake hose kit to ensure maximum safety.

The USA engineered SuperCircuit steel Braided Brake Lines are compliant to Society of Automotive Engineers, International (SAE J1401) and DOT Standard Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS106) and every hose is tested to 3000 p.s.i. (normal brake master pump will reach around 1800 p.s.i.). Best of all, it comes with Lifetime Warranty*.
