96ti,

I concur with Bobbydigital. There is no "need" to replace your brake lines if they look in good shape. That being said, since you are doing this yourself, or at I assume you are, you are saving a good bit of money on labor. You could use it towards a nice set of SS lines. I personally would recommend UUC or Goodridge line. UUC's are coated with a plastic sleeve for added protection. It's not too often that you are doing the brakes, so while your there, and your going to flush the system, might as well put in the lines too. That way you have the peace of mind knowing that at least for another 140K, your lines are good. As for fluid, I use ATE super blue or gold. Same product, different color, so that each time you fluch the system, you use the other color so you can see when the new fluid has flushed out the old.
