It's not often I do not entirely agree with Randall, however unless you plan to frequently autox or track your boxster I would stick with oem style brake lines, they will remain effective longer than the steel braided version. And ATE Superblue should to be replaced more often than your more average GL4/5 synthetic brake fluid. While the ate superblue will withstand higher temperature/higher boiling point, its effective hygroscopic life span is considerably shorter (45-60 days). Both are generally for racing/competition applications and most race oriented components get replaced more frequently. Thats MHO anyway
