On the SS lines, you want to start with something that has DOT approval, as mentioned in the thread. I would recommend something that has a coating on the outside, which serves to protect the stainless lines from rust and so on. I'm using the techna-fits, and they are dot approved and has that protective coating.
It's important that attention is paid to the lines so they don't rub on anything - suspension, tires, arms, etc. If the metal braided outer sheath breaks, the sharp edges could cut the inner hose, leading to a line failure. The outer sheath is already stainless, i.e. it's rust resistant inherently.

Even if you dont like the idea of 75$ for a liter of fluid, Castrol SRF fluid is THE best brake fluid out there. 590F/518F Dry/Wet.
Also, the ACD makes life difficult for an installer of a ducting kit, but it can be done, I have the AMS kit on my 06.
Here's my write up:

Yes, unnecessarily complicated and I partially block my oil cooler for the explicit purpose of symmetry BUUUUT there are a lot of pictures, take it for what its worth
