Back in July I had the G-Spec SS brake lines put in along with Motul 660 brake fluid and I definitely recommend the setup.

The brake lines themselves are steel from the master cylinder and around to the areas near the wheels, but the lines going from there to your calipers are rubber, like they are in most vehicles.

Getting stainless-steel ones won't expand under pressure, as the weave around the hoses expand very little.

The result/benfit is a "snappier" brake, as there is less pressure loss in the rubber part due to expansion. It also looks better IMO.
