I go on many canyon runs, and hopefully more Auto-X and track day soon. I notice that my break pedal gets "mushy" after a while and breaking becomes more difficult.
Many people have advised upgrading break lines and break fluid to help reduce the "mushy" feeling.
Can someone recommend a maker or contact on break lines. Is there anything important that I need to look out for when shopping for break lines?
I tried the search feature but couldn't pull up anything with break lines. The car is stock as far as engine and suspension components.

Thanks in advance!

If you haven't replaced your brake fluid, start there.

It's unlikely that the brake lines on an '02 S2000 have softened enough to be noticable.

Yeah... I would upgrade fluid & pads before worrying about the lines.
My brakes got really mushy after one of my track days. I assumed I had boiled the fluid (even though I was using Motul RF600), but it turned out that the pads were glazed. So, I'd consider doing the fluid and pads if you are concerned about braking.

I agree with all of the comments, but I'd also consider doing the Braided Stainless Steel brake line upgrade. I've had them on my last 3 cars, and can feel the improvement they make.

I'm not saying that they'll make you stop quicker, but the brake pedal feedback has a better "FEEL" to it so you react accordingly.

This might solve your problems.
