If your referring to the Z1 kit yes the lines are in the kit, You will save money buying Infinity Calipers and having them powder coated then buy the rotors

If your referring to the Z1 kit yes the lines are in the kit, You will save money buying Infinity Calipers and having them powder coated then buy the rotors and lines from Z1. Every one jacks up the price on 370Z calipers. Take you time you can pick a set up for $5 to $700.00.

You will notice the brake isn't as stiff as your base model brakes. The reason is the Booster on the sport model is a different size and the hard lines that are on the sport are slightly larger in diameter than the base hard lines.

Connecting the new SS lines to the hard line and attaching it directly to the caliper helps stiffen the braking feeling a little bit but a good set of Pads you wont know the difference.

Also you need to fill the Brake Reservoir all the way to the top. The Sport brakes used a little more fluid, if you don't top the reservoir off all the way you will get VDC, Traction and E-Brake light will come on and freak you out.

Next time I do a set I'll take pictures and do a DIY for it.
