If you're replacing the lines make sure you've got the proper size wrenches and that you try and turn the fittings the proper direction. Things can get ugly if you round-off the fittings.

After you've replaced all the lines bleed the entire system well. I mean keep bleeding (in the proper sequence) until you have clean fluid coming out the bleed valve at each wheel cylinder. At first you're almost certain to have coffee-looking crap coming out, but by effectively replacing all the fluid in your system you'll end up with better feeling and working brakes.

I would recommend the Goodridge Braided Steel lines. I've used them and have had no problems with them. They run about $140.

That's what I'm running on mine. Easy to switch out, good quality lines. Just got to make sure you route them properly or you'll end up rubbing holes in them on the shocks & coils.
