Basicly what the tittle says. What stainless brake lines are everyone using for them on the 240z? thnx

If you take the little S shaped pieces off of the stock calipers than you can use normal 240Z stainless lines.

I did what Jon said and reused the lines I already had.

Read the post several and I'm confused (not unusual for me). Which lines are you guys talking about, the flexible lines from the chassis to the strut bracket or the hard lines from the strut bracket to the calipers?

 

When I put the 4-piston calipers on my daily driver, the fittings on my old hard lines where too buggered up to re-use. My local O'Reilly's had 8" armored lines that were easy to shape for around $2 a piece. Had to use cheap rubber flex lines until I can find good SS braided flexible ones.

The stock caliper has a short section of hard line shaped like an S. It's probably 4 or 5" of tubing. It screws into the caliper, then the stainless line attaches to it. If you take that piece off and transfer it to the Toy calipers, then you can run the normal Z stainless lines on the new calipers, because you have the same 10mm female double flare ends on both the caliper and the hard line that attaches to the frame rail just like the original had.
