My car was up for a brake fluid service and I had the service people change my brake lines as well.
It's a pretty easy/cheap mod and really adds a noticeable bite to the brakes; I was pleased with the tighter feel and less brake delay experienced even though I was still on my old brake pads. Looking at a pair of Redstuff when I'm up for replaced the pads - that should help with the fading I get at high speed braking.
the lines cost me 200euros with install for anyone interested.

I'd check them for scuffs and other signs of rubbing in a few hundred miles, specifically in the rear there. Looks cool, though.
thanks,

Mine's in the shop right now having the calipers powder coated and stainless lines installed. Glad to hear you can feel the difference. Looking forward to this mod.
