Hi guys. So one of my caliper is on its way out and need urgently to get it sorted. 
I’ve got the calipers from rock auto but I’ve just found out that getting brake lines for the is250 is an absolute pain in the *****. 
Was thinking about getting braided ones but was told it will take a month to get them , so I’m screwed. 
I’ve just ordered Borg and beck from eBay which might come in time for my appointment with the garage and I’m wondering if they would be any good ? 
is it worth putting them on or keeping the current ones I have to then replace the calipers and eventually order the braided ones and again do brake line replacement ?

Dont know if you've sorted this, unless theres something wrong with the brake lines I wouldnt go out of your way to change them. Its a nice upgrade but I wouldnt bother unless youre doing a big brake upgrade for example,

The callipers can usually be salvaged if you grease the slider pins and replace the degraded rubber boots, in my case I've got a sticking piston so I've ordered a replacement piston from eBay
