one day someone will do a perfect kit, if there's any zs's left on the road needing one.

the sheddist had a copper pipe between the master and chassis leg bracket which never looked that good no matter how hard you tried. But it had a rubber link from chassis to slave which could be handy.

The sheddist bracket IS the most SUPERIOR DESIGN of all. the res was large enough but not 'pretty' for those who bling up engine bays, an oem honda one looked the part tho.

....................................

The DID dark ice bracket by nature of its design will always flex more than the sheddist bracket, but the did bracket is more stylish yet functionality compromised by flex.

The idea of one braided hose is a good idea, but let down by banjo bolts on a non-machine finished slave/master, using a hose with correct fittings would be a better idea.

The res is tiny, but you can buy fluid reservoirs from demon tweaks or use a honda oem one.

.......................................

So for the 'perfect' kit you need to find a sheddist bracket, a decent fluid res and get a hose made up with the correct ends on, the rest is honda master and slave which comes in the dark ice kit or elsewhere.

Any used sheddist kit - you would be wise to replace the slave for the sake of 20quid simply because they fail - they will fail on the dark ice too in time, its the same part!
Replacing a used sheddist copper line would be wise, you can do the ends up so many times before the copper weakens and fractures, so getting a braided hose with the correct ends would be the way to go.

Anything is an improvement on the stock system, even going down the breakers and getting a complete used honda system would be a massive improvement, but you will always need a bracket and correct length hose.
