2006 GS300 AWD Stainless Steel Brake Lines

I got bored and wanted to install some functional mod so this Wednesday I am installing Goodridge G-Stop stainless steel brake lines. I will post up some pics if I think of it and also my impressions as to if it helps with the soft stock feel of the brake pedal. It is time to flush the brake fluid anyway so I figures I would swap out the stock lines for ss.

Jsut curious if anyone has done this already.

correct, the OEM lines were the typical standard rubber tubing type.

I installed the the Goodridge G-Stop stainless steel brake lines today and flushed the brake fluid completely. There is a definate improvement in the feel at the pedal. I would say this was a sound investment.

The lines I purchased were special order through TireRack and for the 2006 GS. When looking at the Goodridge website and TireRack's website, there doesn't seem to be a part number listed for the 2007+ GS.
