It's fairly easy to install lines.
If you have installed lowering suspension, I am sure you can perform this installation.
I only have instructions specific to Impreza which is basically very similar to Solara. The only different is that Solara uses 10mm bolt to hold the lines to the struts instead of Clip.
Here's how to install the lines:

MAKE SURE YOU BUY FLARE 10mm WRENCH other wise you will round the nut.
If you did, don't freak out, there's always a vise grip
Make sure you install the new copper washers provided w/ the brake lines.
Here's how to bleed the brake fluid:

If you don't track your car, Valvoline Synthetic from Autozone/Local part store is the best deal you can find for daily drive w/ very good high/low boiling/wet points for the price (almost as good as ATE Super Blue but 1/2 the price)
Hell. I even use Valvoline for track days and it held just fine.
Bleeding the brake can be a bit tricky but not hard but it takes time.
This is a good time if you want to buy Speed Bleeders to make jobs easier.
If you don't want to buy Speed bleeders then you may need help from another person.
Basically after you install the new lines, you will have air in your brake system.
W/o Speed bleeders:
Assign a friend to monitor the brake fluid reservoir and to always keep it full.
Assign another one in the passenger seat to press/depress the brake pedal.
Start engine, open the bleeder valve then tell a friend to brake and keep it braked.
You will see air /bubbles flowing w/ dirty fluid, once it stops flowing then close the bleeder valve, tell him to release the brake.
Repeat above steps until you don't see anymore air bubbles and you see clean fluids.

Combine this w/ Axxis Ultimate or HPS or maybe others, and good blank Brembo rotors then you will smile every time you brake.
I hope that helps out
Let me know..
