the problem is a lot of salvage yards just snip through the brake lines to take the MC and ABS module off
the other thing to be aware of is the threaded connections, positions, and routings are all different between the DSC and non-DSC ABS modules. So you need the lines from a vehicle with the same ABS module as yours. The vast majority are for the ABS with DSC traction control. Which is in your favor because being a GT it most likely has DSC.
honestly don’t understand why you want to do that though; the early MC has a bleed screw to help get air out and it was eliminated on the later ones.

The pedal does not have as firm a feel as my other one (doesn't engage until halfway pressed) and the oem brakes have 15k miles on them. They are rubber lines vs. the ss ones on my shinka.
I supposed I could try upgrading/replacing the rubber lines and a full ATE flush. Was planning to do this with the MC swap. It was extremely difficult getting Info from the mazda dealer so no idea if they actually bled the brakes but the previous owner said they were better after he got it back. Still not the pedal feel I expected though.
The replacement ones for late 2005 on are much more ubiquitous.

Honestly I went down the rabbit hole last night. I expected it to be more difficult for sure. Tools cost more than I want for this but it's definitely something to consider!

Benders are cheap, and FLAPSes will often rent you the flare tools for free. They also carry straight lines already flared with fittings on them. Know what kind of fittings/flares you need, figure out the length, and they'll often let you in the back to find one that's the right length, or at least within a reasonable margin of error. It's been a while since I've bought either, but I imagine you could get in and out in under $20 and an afternoon.

sounds like you’re covered, but anyone who’s looking to make their own hard lines should consider “cunifer” material (combination of copper and nickel):
