"Whole brake kits are really expensive for what you get." That's certainly a subjective comment. You might feel differently if you had one.
I've had two. Not worth it. Just giving my opinion, don't force yours down mine

You know what a brake line is correct? Upgrading your cable from rubber would help increase brake feal, I'm sure you know that

IDK if they make metal types for this car as of yet, but here is an example for my Z28 from one of our sponsers.

Serious race car owners have used flexible brake hoses of extruded Teflon for decades. They are protected against abrasion and swelling by a sheath of tightly braided stainless steel wire. The resistance to "line swell" both improves the firmness or "feel" of the brake pedal and reduces the time required for effective pressure to reach the brakes and begin to slow the car. The decreased system reaction time reduces stopping distance in emergency situations-- as much as 18 feet at 80 miles per hour.

Earl's HYPERFIRM® brake hoses not only meet all D.O.T., T.U.V., and J.W.A. standards and specifications for flexible brake hoses, they are individually inspected and testing before shipment. Earl's HYPERFIRM® hoses are the only Teflon stainless steel brake hoses to successfully pass all tests at a D.O.T.-contracted test laboratory. Each package contains front and rear lines.

That is the information that site gives
