Stainless do not flex so they will give faster response and better feel. I had them on my SE-R and it made a huge difference, I will be adding them in the spring when I paint the calipers. Of course now that I have the rotors, I may just ad the 4 piston calipers, instead
You can't just add the 4-pot calipers, I'm pretty sure they use a different rotor. The oem calier ones are not as thick. 
Yes, the lines help a lot too. A must for any car IMO.

If you can find a used oem Brembo kit for that kind of price, jump on it. Most of them go for ~$1,700. I was going to get a set but ended up getting my RB kits new with lines and all for about that price.

I do perfectly agree on this; it just adds to the braking feel since you are putting same amount of fluid to each caliper with the same amount of braking force at the end.
2)
Bigger rotors won't help for braking power; even though it does give a larger moment arm since your caliper is now extended outward......(just imagine you are now trying to stop a flywheel with more rotational mass and larger moment arm). Yet, most of us get the kit for better resistance against fade since it has larger surface area for venting.
On true BBK with multiple brake pots, it increases braking performance by equally distributing the brake force on the brake pad when compared to a single pot oem design
Overall, I love my kit =)

I guess it's true for the fronts. I wish that were true for the rears. I know for a fact they won't work because I tried to upgrade to their 2-pot or 4-pot rear calipers and they said nope!
I found the forum where they say you can upgrade the fronts to the 4-pot. I wonder why my rotors that came with my 4-pot kit do not look the same as yours.
