Last time I did stailess steel lines (not on the Z) I had to take the calipers off so I could get the right twist on all the lines. They do go a little crazy while your putting them on and if you have a twist going too far or in the wrong direction they will not hang right. After install have someone turn the wheel all the way right and left watch what they do. They should be moving smooth, not have any sharp radiuses and not be close to rubbing anywhere. If they look funky, you gotta take the caliper off and rotate right or left untill the tubes hang and move right. A lot of shops will just put them in. I won't trust them for something like this.
For the mushyness, they probably didn't do a good job bleeding your brakes. Better to go back and give her a quick bleed.

After doing some research I was wondering if they didn't give them a good bleed. They had around 1/2 a bottle of motil 600 left over if that means anything. Then again, it could be my imagination on the pedal feel. I would guess it's only normal to have a little softer/mushier pedal with stock lines over stainless steel brake lines.
