Default Stainless steel brake lines

I checked Stoptech website but they only show the rear line for 3GS, not the front. Just wondering if the front line for IS350 will fit 3GS also?

i would think that if they were, stoptech would be advertising it as such. It makes sense that the company would want to find more applications for the same exact part.

I got a set of stainless from Goodridge (G-Stop). However at the time I ordered them last summer, they only listed up to the 2006 GS. I don't know if 2007+ is in the works, but it wouldn't hurt to ask them.

I had a set of stop tech stainless steel braided brake lines on my old G35 and it didnt do anything on the street. On the track it wasnt noticable in stopping distance as much as pedal feel s]consistency

I am getting the F-Sport BBK but the kit does not include the stainless steel brake lines. I just want to install everything at the same time...if available.

are you sure?

it says it does come with stainless steel lines..

Two new brake upgrade packages are available, the front package includes six-piston fixed calipers and drilled cast-iron rotors with a patented internal-fin design mounted on anodized aluminum hubs while the rear package uses four-piston fixed calipers and drilled cast-iron rotors. Both come with performance brake pads and braided stainless-steel brake lines.

Not too sure...I will check when I get the kit. But according to www.f-sport.com it does not mention any stainless steel lines and it says the caliper will fit the OE brake hose, so I assume it does not come with any new brake lines
