I've just started this conversion... I have the Type-S rotor/knuckle assemblies for all 4 corners from an 03 RSX Type-S. I'm going to upgrade to SS brake lines while I'm at it.
Should I buy EP3 or RSX brake lines? Does it matter?
Hmm. I just did some digging and compared part numbers at http://www.hondapartsunlimited.com.
02 EP3 Left Rear brake line "set" is part #: 01468-S5A-J03
03 RSX Type-S Rear brake line "set" is part #: 01468-S6M-000
I wonder if they have different part #'s only b/c the "set" includes slightly different hardware (washers or whatever)? I'll probably buy SS brake lines made for the RSX Type-S.
Update: Thanks to 56chevydan for his insight. He said this:
"As far as stainless steel brake lines go, I'd order for the RSX-s. The RSX-s lines are about an inch longer that the base RSX.
If you think about it, when you get your front brake setup in, and since the RSX has the same floorpan as the EP3, basically your new setup is RSX-s. The rears will be the same whether RSX-s, RSX or EP3. Check on
www.CorSportusa.com for the lines. They are a site sponsor and they have free shipping."
