SS brake line decision
From work I have the option of getting Stoptech or Russell SS brake lines from work. Is there any real difference between the two or should I just pick the most cost effective option since they both seem to have a good reputation?

I had goodridge on my ap2 and the fit was generic. Bought SOS lines on a recommendation and the fit is perfect. SOS ftw.

They do make a difference in feel. However, more importantly, you should replace the stock lines with SS lines as a safety precaution. Old OEM brake lines are known to rupture on track. Losing all braking power coming down a straight at full speed and into a turn is a bad scenario.

Do SS brakes really make a significant difference compared to OEM lines?
^^This. I have seen brake line failures at the track before in person and it almost never ends well (only once did the guy keep it out of the wall). I have also heard of other stories that ended worse than just a totaled car If the lines on your car are older than 5 years or so PLEASE CHANGE THEM, especially if your car is seeing a lot of track time. For me it's a safety thing that also has some performance benefits to go along with it. I have been using Stoptech lines as they are inexpensive, readily available and very high quality but will likely try the Endless lines next as I feel they have the best design of anything available today. I wouldn't hesitate to use any of the other popular options either (Challenge, SOS or Goodridge specifically).
