help for brake line
cclp - curious why you want to do this, what you think you'll gain? Plus, isn't install kinda expensive because brake fluid has to be drained/refilled and carefully bled of any air?
I've thought of doing this, but am a little nervous about doing it.

Don't let anyone tell you different, but the Supra lines DO NOT fit the GS. While you're in there, use racing fluid like Motul.
The benefits of these changes are better pedal feel and increased fluid heat tolerance.

Stainless steel lines will not make your brakes "stronger" - stop you faster. They will not reduce your stopping distance.

The better feel comes from the fact that the stainless lines won't expand when brake pressure is applied, whereas the stock rubber lines expand a tiny amount and reduce the effective presure that is sent to the calipers.
They don't really change anything for the better, they simply reduce energy losses over the stock components.
