I wouldn't say they are for looks. They won't help you brake any better but they do improve pedal feel.Just be sure you don't post back here about how awesome your brakes feel now.
SS lines do nothing for a DD. You will be hard-pressed to notice them on the last session of your track day. They are mostly for looks.

Took me quite a few minutes to figure out what the heck RP, RD, and all that jazz was, LOL. Hve to say, never seen that before. I assume that was to make sure you got your lefts and rights right? Remember this; if it moves, L and R are ALWAYS from the drivers point of view; cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, all of it.
Decreasing weight increases it quite a bit, especially unsprung weight.Completely agree. I literally just put SS lines on my lifted '02 F150...HUGE difference in pedal feel. I I've read quite a few articles that summed up there's only three ways to truly increase braking performance; calipers (bigger/multiple pistons), larger diameter rotors, and SS lines...anything else is just "feel". The lines on my truck (and one other Mustang I did them on) truly made a noticeable difference in capability.
It's in your head. Stainless lines make you feel better about yourself. That's it.I wouldn't say they are for looks. They won't help you brake any better but they do improve pedal feel.

Abrasion resistance/ toughness is true for SS, and pedal feel to a degree, but this yields no increased braking performance at all. Just some feel.It's in your head. Stainless lines make you feel better about yourself. That's it.
Next, you'll be posting about how your SS lines are 'DOT approved'. No such thing.
If you track your car having fluid with a higher boiling point is very important. Also the fluid over time collects moisture lowering the boiling point. So yes changing fluid does help depending on what you do with the car. Also if you boil the fluid it must be changed.If changing the lines doesn't really do anything (which this thread has enlightened me about) does changing the fluid not really make a difference either?
