Default PBR calipers - 13 inch J55 Upgrade

I currently am looking at these PBR calipers to buy and I am not familiar with the brand. Looking for any information on these calipers that might be available. Can I use my same flex lines when making the change?

PBR makes the OEM calipers. Brake lines should be universal.

I just put GS calipers on my '96 and was going to list the stock J55's in the "for sale" forum once I get around to a test drive and then deciding on a price. They are in need of replacement seal kits and maybe one new piston, but the work is fun (did it on the GS's) and it will be way cheaper than new. PM if interested.
