Nope, you'd be fine w/ the Z1 kit more than likely, if you're adamant on doing it.

Main reason people push them is because of older, worn out rubber lines on older cars. They can be stretched out over time, eventually getting to the point where your brake-feel isn't nearly as solid anymore. Especially when racing at the track, SS lines are great peace of mind in that you know they wont burst at the end of a 130-140 MPH straight, and put you right into the wall when you hit your brakes.
