Not sure about the difficulty with installing the ART rotors - I had my mechanic do mine when the car was having the 60K service done. As far as the lines, I think pretty much your only option is the goodrich stranded steel lines, figure about $110 - $140, try Dayle at motor sport warehouse or rallispec, although their site seems to be unavailable right now. I really like both mods, the improvement in stopping power once the pads/rotors are warmed up is great - I often find myself coming to a stop about 20 feet before my brain says I should be. Driving around late at night and seeing how close you can get to stop signs before applying the brakes is fun too. I think I got my ~$500 worth at least...

Rotors and pads are cake. Check out my website http://www.ryanmacdonald.com for a how-to. Look under Sunfire/SVX then SVX How-to's.
