I don't know what caliper you currently have now. Therefore, I would not know if the lines that would fit your calipers would fit Z32 or Q45 brakes
anyone have a based experience suggestion?
I don't know what "a based experience suggestion" is. Therefore, I don't know if I have it or not.
will it work?
I don't know what "it" is. Therefore, I don't know if "it" will work or not.
Read this link very carefully and try to clear up your original post if you would like more detailed answers.

regular lines wont work on z32 calipers not because the threading is not the same its because a regular 240 uses a banjo on the caliper therefore has the tabs on the caliper whihc wont let the banjo spin but on the z32 calipers they use a stragiht 10*1 double inverted flare fitting and the banjo tabs do not exist
you can take the risk as far as it goes for bolting it up but i can almost assure u they will come loose with time and we all know having no brakes sucks

Are these two questions related? I don't understand what you're asking. What is your question?
SS lines generally replace the rubber hoses that go from the caliper to the hardline. Unless you're asking about my specific setup, which has no hardline. I have SS lines going straight from the BMC to the caliper.
Also, are you asking if anybody has used a Z32 BMC on an S14 before? Search and you will find a ton of people doing that.
Are you asking which SS lines go well with the Z32 BMC? It doesn't matter because the BMC doesn't touch the SS lines, unless you're referrin to my setup.
