I'm no brake expert so someone fill me in, please. But if it's just a matter of better lines (what, bigger diameter???) and a different fluid (different how??), that seems like an incredibly easy change for Nissan to just make standard. Adding an oil cooler adds material and labor costs to production. Changing the brake lines and fluids only adds material cost, not labor.

Adding a telescope wheel is probably a big engineering change which would effect many other components, so that's another matter.
