I'm not sure that these lines are an improvement over the stock lines. They look nice but performance wise I don't think they help. It's been mentioned here before. I would do a search before taking this route if performance is what your after. If the look is all that matters then they are short money so go for it.
I'm not bias put just thought it should be mentioned because everyone assumes S.S. lines are always a performance upgrade.

This is one example, there are many others. I'm not trying to talk anyone out of buying SS lines, all I'm saying is make sure you know why your buying them. Yes on paper they always give a better pedal feel but spend 15 years building cars and you'll find out there are plenty of things that sound great on paper but once you have the parts installed you may find things to not always be as they where advertised.
I can also tell you I have SS lines on my Supra, GVR4, DSM drag car, CBR600 and a customers MR2 sitting on my lift with Wilwood 6 pot calipers on 4 corners. I have been spending a lot of time modifying my ISF lately and SS lines are not on the car or the parts list. I would put that money towards pads or FIGS 2-piece rotors.
I also add that I can go in my shop, open a draw and take out a failed SS line to post a picture of if it helps.

I noticed a difference at the track with SS brake lines from a different manufacturer, but I also changed brake fluid to a higher boiling temp "racing brake fluid" as well at the same time..... So maybe it was that or the combination..... But definitely no more spongey feel to the brakes..

You guys need to take in to consideration that when changing brake fluid, pads and lines at the same time you really can't give a review on the effect the lines had on pedal feel. These cars have massive brakes that bite well, a very good ABS system and fair amount of brake pads options and a well designed 2 piece rotor set available for them. If an upgrade for the track is the focus I think the issue of boiling the fluid is what should be solved first.
I also hope everyone has adressed tires and contact patch which should be optimal before going for more brake upgrades.
