To onepoint8tee's post:
They way I see them, SS lines are more of a peace-of-mind mod for a street car due to their increased durability. They really don't make much difference in pedal feel in my experience (had them on my Z), but it's nice to know that road debris kicked up under the car isn't going to damage them. Still, if you're replacing them anyway, might as well get SS - they're not terribly expensive ($55 for the fronts). If it was a matter of $50 for rubber and $150 for SS, I could see skipping them, but for the meager cost they'd be worthwhile. Still, I see your point about putting most of your mod budget into the newer car and keeping the 97 for a DD.

I'm done with the 2000 as far as mods until the suspension gets too floaty. The 97 is in desperate need of control arms and thats a nice chunk I'm trying to work around.
Which SS lines you are talking about that are $55 for the fronts?

Hardest part about bleeding your brakes is finding a helper

Brakes are a DIY and probably Audiworld or Audidiy.com will have a procedure for it. Main thing to remember is to bleed the wheel farthest from the master cylinder first, and work toward the master. Start with passenger rear, then driver rear, then passenger front, then driver front. Keep an eye on the level of fluid, and never ever release the brake pedal when the bleeder is open, so you don't draw air into the caliper and lines, and you'll be fine.
