Default I did my pads, lines and rotors all at once.

There seemed to be a little more bite after the upgrade but I couldn't tell you if it was lines or pads that were responsible for that. The only reason I did the lines was because it came with the pads and rotors.

Default How do you plan to go stage 3 if you don't have any money?

If you plan to go to the track ever and are going to put some money into brakes anyway, I say spend it on a BBK. Buy used if you can't afford new. If all you're ever going to do is drive on the street, then just get slotted OEM rotors (like DBA from Tantrumwerks). Do braided lines if you have a few hundred dollars lying around and are bored, but don't expect a huge improvement.
