Stainless steel lines help a lot with pedal feel, which makes brake modulation easier. The biggest thing I think you're overlooking is fluid choice. You'll definitely want to upgrade your fluid to something with a higher boiling point. A BBK is a waste for most street cars, simply because you won't ever get to the point where you'll see the benefits. BBKs don't start being worthwhile until you're doing repeated heavy braking over extended time periods.

If you budget allows for it, we've got some StopTech packages that include rotors, pads, and lines. Throw in some Motul or Endless brake fluid and you're looking at right around $1000. This will get you an excellent braking package that fits just like OEM. Click the link in my signature to browse our website. Please feel free to PM me or call/email if you have any questions!
no offense man but i wouldnt spend 1000$ upgrading the base brakes. better off spending that money towards an akebono upgrade.
