big brakes - bus lines

Im setting the valvetrain on the new L5 heads
pricing drop beams I started looking at brake packages

specifically 4 piston willwoods for the front
does the increase in caliper pressure affect the performance of the existing brake lines? stainless to the hardlines. I know a thorough check is in order. With the additional weight of the late model T2 transporter and a lowered centre of gravity. Should I be concerned with the compression fittings at the Master cyl?

I am getting the brakes, I just want to know my parts list.

Thanks

Hi

I don't think you need to worry in the area of hoses and fittings, as long as its all in good order.

Local Jap car modifiers are not that keen on Willwood stuff, they prefer Porsche/Brembo, much better quality.
