Which cars does the Brake Line System for FD2 fit?

The Brake Line System for FD2 is designed for the JDM Civic Type R sedan built from 2007 to 2010. It may not fit the US-market FG Civic, so confirm your model with Bulletproof Automotive before ordering. If the car runs aftermarket calipers, mention them when you ask so the line ends can be checked.

Who should install the brake lines?

The manufacturer classes the lines as a critical safety part and asks that they are fitted by a certified shop capable of brake system work. The system must be bled correctly afterward, and the manufacturer accepts no claims caused by poor assembly, installation or bleeding, so a professional install is the sensible choice.

How do the lines change pedal feel?

Factory rubber hoses expand when hot fluid pressurizes them, so the pedal sinks and goes soft during hard braking. The PTFE hose and stainless mesh barely expand even at high temperature and pressure, which the manufacturer says gives a crisp pedal, linear braking and better control when ABS or brake assist steps in.

Are the fittings stainless steel?

Yes. The fittings are SUS stainless steel, chosen to resist rust and deterioration over time. The hose itself is PTFE inside a stainless steel mesh with a clear coat on top. Every assembled hose is pressure tested for leaks before it leaves the manufacturer.

Is the system suitable for street driving?

Yes. The manufacturer designed the lines for use anywhere from the street to the circuit. They make the largest difference under repeated hard braking, where rubber hoses heat up and soften, but the manufacturer also says they respond crisply to delicate pedal inputs in normal driving.

Description

J’s Racing Brake Line System for FD2 Honda Civic Type R

J’s Racing’s Brake Line System for FD2 Civic Type R sedans replaces the factory rubber hoses with PTFE hose sheathed in stainless steel mesh and fitted with stainless ends, so the pedal stays firm when the fluid gets hot. Rubber hoses swell as brake fluid heats up under hard braking, and the pedal travels further and turns soft; the PTFE hose, a type developed for aircraft use, barely expands even at high temperature and pressure. The Osaka Honda specialist pressure tests every hose before it ships. J’s Racing rates the lines for everything from the street to the circuit, and they matter most on an FD2 that brakes hard and often.

Construction

The hose core is PTFE, chosen for its pressure and heat resistance, wrapped in stainless mesh and finished with a clear coat. The fittings are SUS stainless, which resists rust and holds up over the years. Each finished hose is pressurized and checked for leaks before it is packed, and J’s Racing says the design has proven its durability in motorsport.

Features

PTFE hose with stainless mesh resists expansion under heat and pressure
SUS stainless steel fittings for rust resistance
Clear-coated outer layer

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
