Do 996 Brakes come w/stainless steel brake lines?

Like the title says
Since taking the car out of storage from the past 6 years, I am learning more and more about the car.
I just rebedded my brakes last night, which is always a fun process. I am looking into putting new brake fluid in the car and also new brake pads.
I know that the porsche brakes are the OEM masters, but do they come w/ss lines?
Haven't had the chance to jack the car up and look around yet.
Anyone have any ideas?

not necessary at all
Agree they are not necessary, but they do help with pedal feel and the rubber ones do crack over time. I will update mine with these as it is a relatively cheap mod.
necessity is interesting question
i do know that rubber lines tend to stretch out upon heavy braking (track time usage - which is what I intend to use my Porsche for). This can create that mushiness in the brake pedal.
Since I already have 6 piston front, and 4 piston rear calipers, I was thinking about upgrading the lines as well as the fluid. Also the pads as well.
Thanks alot for the information!

Standard do a great job on the street. That being said, SS lines can help during track days with pedal firmness over prolonged hard braking sessions.
I swapped to ss lines, pagid pads and motul fluid and did see improvement across all areas.

Glad your question was answered (does it come w/ss?).
Not sure why anyone would skip your request to offer an unqualified opinion. Given your application you will certainly benefit from a conduit that remains stable in shape(thus the ss). A side benefit will be the necessary flushing of the system. You should be good to go for a very long time at that point. Chris

Putting some new SS lines and new Brake Fluid... is it necessary to change also the brake pads?
my 99 did not come with ss lines.
