Question Braided Brake Lines, are they worth it?

OK, I currently have a MY95 WRX Wagon and am looking to improve the braking performance, I cannot afford to upgrade to 4-pots at the moment so I have got some aftermarket disc's and pads.
My question is how much difference for 'enthusiastic' road driving will braided lines make to braking performance?

Well worth it m8, I went for the Pagid "Gp N+" package which include discs, but I've since discovered that Pagid discs are prone to warp (but mine haven't in 20k+ miles) and the OE discs are just as good.
Apparently, you get the same dramatic increase in performance with just the pads and lines

Just put braided lines on my STi8 with already fitted DS2500 all round. Pedal is much firmer, feel is better, and stopping performance seems more consistent. What more could you ask for, definitely worth doing. Cheers, Diccy.
