Sorry ppl,this maybe a SEARCH question but I'll still go ahead!! Ordered Rotora Slotted/drilled Rotors and EBC Greenstuff pads.Is it worth changing Brake lines to stainless steel ones?I'm also looking to paint my calipers.Any suggestions on color or process?

You won't gain anything meaningful with the SS lines other than looks.

thats not true. when your really getting on them hard it will feel a little firmer. I felt a difference with stock rotors and pads and SS lines.

You can say I'm an average daily driver not looking to race unless provoked.Would I benefit from it?

I said "nothing meaningful", not "nothing at all".

With power assist the difference in feel is very slight and of no practical value. In return for dollar spent it is a poor value for street driving.

For the painting of your calipers, get the G2 kit off of ebay, its a highly recommended epoxy paint kit that you can get in any color you want. It comes in a complete kit for approximately 25$.

I would get it in red.

G2 is the way to go, unless you want to have Dfred powder coat them.
