On the front as mentioned it's well worth running a separate line from the master to each calliper, simpler and IMHO a nicer level of feedback.

Oem brake lines black and boring , Braided lines shiney

Well.....im back again. Read all the posts. Having had 3 of these FJs......My last one was 10 years ago before now.,,,,....  My other FJs were bog stock all the way to the exhaust system. I am cringing at the thought as to how much all this will cost. I have not had the pleasure of getting on this FJ and giving it a run as its not registered and knowing my luck I will take it out for a blast and I will get my chops busted big time. The only way is to get a permit. Having said all that I lied. I have given it a run or rather got given a taste of it during a real quick trip around the block. 2km. (1.5 miles.)  Scared the buggery out of myself . Forgot how quick they are .  This bike has been a highway bike all its life. Its trip around the block from the previous owner of 12 years was average of 200km(120)miles. I wanted to take it out again but just before I did my wife and I were on a walk around the block and who idled past. HIGHWAY PATROL. literally idled past. Needless to say I gave the idea away, Unregistered fine is $700 plus $249 for unroadworthy so I got to give it serious thought.............NO...Anyway  I think the spring is a bit sad but I need to investigate it a bit. I am only going on feel. Bit bouncy.The bike is very tidy but just needs a serious going over.  I rang a few places for prices and one guy who recos bike bits( SUSPENSION  rebuilds them, he  quoted me $980 for spring, shocker front forks full rebuild and a few other bits including labour which I thought was quite reasonable. I enquired as to if he heard about the wheel upgrade,brakes etc as he said he had the same model bike a few tears ago, Hadnt heard of the wheel but has the rest. Did strongly advise of the brake lines to. . Basically its a personal choice as was mentioned to me in the forum. Now the only thing stopping all this...........money..........The other is I have to consider the STOCK look or TO MODIFY it. I think I will wait till Ive met up with some of the guys. By the way Arnie and Noel. I live in Hampton Park. Near Dandenong. Anybody who wishes to join for a coffee is more than welcome. Where is the best spot to meet up? regards jeff
