Default About to install new rotors, SS lines too?

Just received my OEM front rotors from Gordon at Carson, thanks much to the team over there!

I haven't ever installed rotors or SS brake lines, and I wont get the new lines for a couple weeks. If I install the rotors now, am I going to have to take them off again to install the new lines?

I know it'd be easier to just do em at the same time, but the current rotors are warped and its annoying as !#$@ so I'd like to do it this afternoon.

Also, which SS brake lines do yall recommend?

As far as i know no you will not. The line go to the caliper which is fully accessible regardless of the rotor.

No, you wont have to take off the rotors, just the calipers. I believe Goodridge makes a good set of SS lines for our cars..

you shouldn't even need to take off the caliper... the brake line just bolts to the side of the caliper...

just make sure you have the right tools cause you do not want to strip the head...
