You don't have to change your lines if you're only changing the pads/rotors. You can if you want, but it will only help stiffen the braking "feeling".

I've been reading up on the internets, and the general consensus seems that its not necessary to re-surface rotors when changing brake pads from one type to another.

Curious, how many members here feel the same way?

depends on how your rotors are.

If they're grooved or have some signs of uneven wear and there is still enough thickness to have them turned, then do it. Otherwise, just swap the pads out
