Default I have a new, unopened, set (all 6 lines), that I'll sell for $100. First come, first serve

They were $189 on sale for $149 from EVO, I think. With shipping, I paid $156. I never got around to putting them on, and now I have APR brakes which came with front lines. And thus no need for this full set of SS brake lines anymore.

Default I'd get the Stoptech lines, IMHO. Those lines are suspect in my book.

Is the brake feel much firmer and more responsive with them? Is there a signifigant difference?

S/S lines are a huge improvement over stock...

Default Tell that to Formula 1 constructors. Your line looks like it was rubbing or kinked.

Seriously, Goodridge is the top supplier of brake line products:

"Used throughout the Motor Sport world, developed for the most demanding customers; Formula One, Indy, Champ, Nascar and World Rally to project Thrust and Rolls Royce cars. "<ul><li><a href="http://www.goodridge.net">http://www.goodridge.net</a></li></ul>
