Maybe perhaps not by debris, but the inner hose can still wear...

If you'er gonna get some, see about getting some with some kind of coating on them.

Alrighty, soo by chance does anybody think that a local place would stock these lines??? or should i just go with the regular ones???

ALSO:
does anybody know if honda brake/rotors are any good? i only ask b/c my friend works there n said he could get me stuff for 1/2 off soo i was just curious, thanks =) I think they probably would be more expensive than what they are worth, EVEN AT COST.......??? Anybody know? THANKS!~

I'd say Honda rotors will be decent, but maybe upgrade your pads. I've got a set of Hawk HPS and I'm quite happy with them.

Dude you are not racing your car... get some stock brake hoses (lines are the actual metal tubing), then go to NAPA and get off-brand rotors. For my car they're $27 each. There are 2/3 foundries in the whole country that make rotors for everyone so that "honda" rotor you're buying is just marked up and maybe stamped with a new part number.

Brak pads are all about a trade off. Ceramic pads that don't dust dont' stop well; I run them on the street to keep things clean. My Wilwood H race pads that stop the car on a dime squeel, dust, and are nasty on the street.
