Stainless lines make a huge difference in brake pedal feel, they have been the first mod on every car I have owned. I would definitely recommend getting them.

As tubgrill mentioned, the stainless lines provide stiffer pedal feel and help keep the pedal firm after repeated heavy stops. We always recommend them especially if you plan on doing some performance driving.

Your pads, rotors, and tires will ultimately determine how short your braking distance is.

I have put them on two different cars (99 TL & 01 Corolla) and didn't notice any difference in the brake feel.
