I have always had good luck with Goodridge Stainless brake lines. The pedal feel will be solid and will improve the factory brakes. Tirerack may have what you need. Replace the factory pads while you are at it and you may be very surprised.

I think a big issue with the RX is the designed in mushy brake pedal feel. It is hard to eliminate, even with better pads, and bleeding and I doubt steel brake lines will make much difference. I do not know how to change that pedal feel, maybe free play adjustment? But wish it were possible.
I recently drove a friend's 2003 Honda Accord with 108,000 miles and was shocked at how grabby the brakes were compared to the RX.

For instance if your purchasing stainless lines, make sure they are from a reputable mfg who pressure tests the lines, and of course cover them in some kind of plastic sheath to prevent road debris from wreaking havoc on the braids.
