I wouldn't imagine it would cause any problems. How soon are you planning on doing the Z32 brakes?

On a side note, I'm using my stock MC with Z32 brakes and they feel fine. The pedal doesn't feel squishy and the brakes function properly.

I don't forsee any problems, but why do that?

There wouldn't be any significant mechanical advantage to it. Just wait for the Z32 brakes and do it all at once in my opinion.

Oh duh, your stock one is going out...

You could always get steel braided lines if you're worried about blowing them (around $50-$60 for a set front OR rear) and then sell/trade when you get a Z32 upgrade.

They won't blow out. You'll be fine. Go ahead and do it now so you don't change the MC twice.

The end.

the only side effect might be a touchy pedal since it moves so much more fluid.

The braking point will move up the travel but it won't cause any mechanical problems. I'd put the Z32 on and not worry about it, then you won't have to do it later.
