To some degree this firmness is just due to a new line. I'd go with rubber. I have SS on the track car and those have to be replaced as well due to age and use.

Very easy to do. Just make sure you have "line wrenches" and go thru the DIY's on here or elsewhere, for tips. I didn't have any of the horrors that others experienced. They all cracked free pretty easily. Again, good wrenches and square leverage will do it.

I pretty much only buy Porsche and Mercedes parts from dealers one of which I have dealt with over 33 years.
Some dealers charge a lot over MSRP.

Between about $75 to $120. This will depend on relationship with dealer and/or parts manager, and whether you are a retail or whosale customer.

What is/are the advantages of steel braided lines?
...Other than rubber lines over time are subject to swelling, stretching, which resluts in a decrease in braking performance.
