Which braided lines should i get?

[TEE.KAY]

With my current brake setup (DC2R brakes on a '96 EK Civic) i need to get some braided lines. What i need to know is: what lines do i buy?
Lines from an EK, or lines from a DC2R, ect..?

Also, is it necessary to get all four corners braided or can i leave my rear lines stock?
My setup will be:
DOT 6.1 brake fluid.
DC2R callipers, project Mu 2 peice rotors, project Mu (700 degree) pads on the front.
Stock DC2R brake setup on the rear.
Thanks guys.
Also if anyone could recommend a place to purchace in sydney it would be helpfull. (must be ADR approvable).
cheers, ..TK

First of all I wouldnt be putting DOT '6.1' into your system, I doubt you will need anything of greater quality than DOT 4 with regular changes.

As for which lines to get - ADR approved lines.

It is for track use, why not put dot 6.1 into my system? are there any negatives?

[markoJEK1]

Not negatives really maybe the price? dont know how much the 'race' brake fluid goes for.

Fully silicone fluid cant be bad for the seals. Havent dealt with it before so cant come to a conclusion really

is the car going to be street driven ? iam running "race brake pads" on a wrx and sometimes drive it to tafe or whatever, if you dont warm them up it makes squeeling noise, and it also gets dangerous in the morning when its cold and you forget.

It cost me 45$ a can (500ml) so not too expensive. Already bought it.
Thanks anyway mate.

It will be street driven mostly yes, i am aware they need to heat up, hopefully i wont need to brake to hard on the way to work in the morning lol.

6.1 is not silicone. Only DOT5 is silicone. The downside of 6.1 is the high price. I'd rather get Motul RBF600 if I had to have some racing fluid. But I usually use DOT4 and replace it after every trackday. It's cheaper that way too. If you are seriously pushing lap after lap the whole day, then 6.1 or RBF600 is justified.

Oh well, already bought it. Not to worried about the price.
Main thing i would like to know is- what model brake lines should i use?

What brake lines are you currently using? EK or DC2?

yeah see thats the thing, lol even braking soft gets a bit dangerous lol, you have to brake early as. then you have to get used to it once it warms up to stop braking early as.

i was like you just went out bought it, realised its kinda gay for street quick drives lol say to the shops and back or to school

Get all 4 corners.
Not point only getting front.
Idea with braided lines is to reduce flex under heavy braking or caused by heat.
Not to mention decay over the years.

Get front and rear.
A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
