The stock lines will fit but very tight! The advantage of the high-per brake lines is the inner wall thickness of the line itself and the steel braiding that encases it.

A stock line's outer wall can flex enough to make the brakes feel ,,,soft, or not instantly responsive in comparison to a braded one. Braided lines are also 1/2 the thickness of stock and run less fluid making them even more responsive.
