I heard they do. Also do the lines that are out now work on 06+. I heard they do not.

The brake lines on the 06+ are different than the earlier models.

when changing to a spoon kit do you have to change the lines? if this is the case will that make the kit not compatable with the MY06?

No, we do not have braided lines stock. The actual brake lines are metal, but what you are talking about is still just a hose. Unless you track your car, there really isnt a reason to upgrade. The stock braking system is superb.

I changed mine to the Comptech system many years ago when I started autoXing and doing track days.

The brakes are the next thing I am upgrading, at least braided lines and some better pads, my ITRs brakes are way better.

You won't notice any difference with the brake hoses. The pads, yes. The hoses, no. Basically a bling item.

CKR, nice rides... I always loved the NHBP ITRs (and had to choose a BB S2000 over it).

I'll tend to agree that SS brake hoses aren't exactly a must upgrade. Though, do whatever makes you happy... I'd buy brake mods before I'll buy any I/H/E mods.

stainless steel brake lines give a much better feel only, unless your brake lines have been flexing they wont help you stop any faster. I love the way stainless steel brake lines feel.
