If its already on the car, why do you still need brake lines? Should be a conversion line, same as an S-chassis to Z32 brake lines.

i am not talking abt conversion lines. it is the stainless stell braided lines.

the options given at APP should give more info on what each option is for. right?

like for bigger brake setup thus the line is thicker or something.

Sorry I don't get what u mean. From what I know. Aftermarket brakeline is of better quality as it won't expand due to heat.

you say there are 3-4 kinds for your use.

check what each "kind" is good for and make a decision based on that

Brother do u know the lines are the same? It just stated 1 for s15, 1 for gtr, 1 for brembo caliper. And this is the kind I mean.

Wait I'm confused...does the car already have stainless steel lines? I forgot that S15s use the same brakes as Z32s so they dont need conversion lines per se. If you already have one in there, leave well enough alone. If its still the stock rubber one, then get some stainless steel lines. Only reason you'd upgrade is because the stock rubber pieces have a tendency to stretch/bubble due to old age.

Yeah I have the stock rubber ones that's y I want to change but I am not sure to get the s15, gtr or brembo caliper lines that What I am confused abt. Sorry for my poor English if I didn't state myself clear previously
