It's good to see you decided to keep the car!~! I'm sure it will be a totally different animal when you're done with it. 
Regarding the SS brake lines, I don't have any suggestions off hand -- sorry. Bump!

Should be a really fun toy when your done. As I pointed out above, save your money. You will NEVER see/feel any difference here. I have driven MANY race cars with and without SS lines and the feel is VERY marginal at best. It simply doesn't do anything, UNLESS your old lines are balloning. Note: I have NEVER seen a stcok brake line suffer from balloning on the track in ANY modern car. At which point, new stock ones would freshen in up just as well. Simply change the fluid, which WILL make a nice improvement IMHO.See yeah
PS: Make darn sure they are D.O.T. stamped if you do decide to go with them. Otherwise a crafty insurance inspector will flag you if your involved in a wreck, FYI.

I picked up a set of "Magnum" branded lines off ebay about 2 weeks ago for 70-. I notice a difference in feel, see my thread. I also felt a better linear feel with stoptech ones on my track 996 with padig yellows gt3 ducts, and 14" stoptech's all around, however I also have a background in racing cars etc., and possibly others may not notice the difference. I think I noticed more of a difference on the c55 than my 996.

stainless brake lines are only $110 for all 4. they're not expensive. plus alan already has the 185 pulley sitting around, so all he needs to save up is for the heat exchanger, coilover, and intake. exhaust is secondary.

SS brake lines
Gentlmen:
Okay, in regaurds to SS brake lines. If I wore to blind fold you in put you in two of the same cars, one with and one without, NO ONE would tell the difference. Other than the occasional guess. It is purely a placebo effect, aka sprintbooster. Your net braking has not/can not change. The claiber pressure is STILL the same. Unless the line was balloning as I mentioned above. I don't know what else I can say, other than enjoy spending your money on something that makes NO difference, and you will NEVER see it to boot.
Sorry guys, I just hate to see good money thrown away on NO net gain/improvement.
See yeah
PS: Again, make SURE they are D.O.T. marked. You have been warned my friends. Good luck, I'm done on this topic

I agree that they don't improve any stopping distance or performance, but they do help with the overly soft, unpredictable feeling of the brakes.
And really for the price, it's not bad.
