well, yeah
in my case, i put them on my moms 2001 sentra, she had to re learn how much of the pedle to use during the stops, in other words, almost instantanius braking because of lack of expantion in the brake lines, the feel more sensetive. i'm getting a pair for my TA.

I experianced a firmer pedal. I put in the braided lines and some drilled rotors at the same time, but doubt the rotors are making a differance in feel. There is a lot less brake fade, that is for sure!

I think I paid about 75 or 80 bucks on the lines and about 200 for the front rotors(Autospecialty powerstop). This was about 5 or 6 years ago, so the cost may be more or less now. I have not priced them since.

$70 for cars with only front discs
$100 for cars with 4 wheel discs

The price is for the Earl's Kit - which from what I've read on this site is the best of the best.

I'll be ordering these myself for the spring time, since one of my rubber lines is cracked. Might as well spend an extra $50-$60 and upgrade at the same time.
