I hear about people upgrading their brake lines all the time. What kind of difference can I feel if I upgrade my stock brakes/lines w/ stainless steel lines? Or should I not waste my time?

Over time your stock lines become weak, and can not hold the pressure aswell. Being rubber they flex, and you lose some response. The stainless are either hard lines that will not flex or steel braid over rubber nylon blend that reduce flex also. So steel lines are more responsive compared to stock rubber lines, your brakes will feel stronger because you won't need to apply as much pedal pressure. Hope this helps.
