Furthermore, Stainless Steel lines wont make a difference for normal street driving. Hell I'd be hard pressed to say I felt a difference on the track. Save your money and put it elsewhere, IMO.
I'm about to install Akebono BBK on my car and I've been trying to decide to whether or not to get SS Lines.

+1 I did extensive research on SS Lines and it seems as if they aren't really worth it unless you're strictly tracking you car and keeping an eye on those lines.

Even though my brake lines are about 6 years old I think they will outlast any SS lines. Car is mostly a DD with occasional track/canyon runs.

Default Nismo SS brake lines

I did this upgrade on my 2013 Nismo last weekend and be warned that the setup on the back brakes is different for the sport brakes. The line has a clip and each end with no block. Make sure you have the right lines before starting.

Once the job was complete I couldn't really tell any difference on the street but I took it on the track this weekend at Motor Sport Ranch in Cresson Tx and I could tell that the pedal had a firmer feel to it.
