Default '99 brake lines

Are the factory installed brake lines regular steel or stainless? I purchased this car with over 130,000 daily driver miles and I'm wondering if I need to replace the line running from thr front to the back.
Thanks for your help. jd

At this point I would say at absolute most installing new flex lines (the line from the calipers to the hard lines) and a fluid flush and re-fill would be ideal. The flex lines would likely see more wear than the hard lines.

I have replaced the flex lines with stainless flex lines, the calipers have been rebuilt, and all the brake fluid has been flushed out and replaced with SRF fluid.

I will have to get in there and check out the fixed lines when the weather gets a little better in the Cincinnati area.

THANKS TO THOSE WHO RESPONDED.

HAVE A GREAT DAY. jd
