Just got new pads all around & front SS Brake lines put in last weekend. Still taking it easy on them for the first 500km, will put them to the test soon and let you know what I think. So far they feel much stronger.

I think it depends what kind of driving you do but I think for daily driving + a bit of track time/auto-X time, pads + brake fluid and maybe SS lines will be more than enough.

Yea, I think for your application a 4pot caliper would be a bit overkill. Definitely a nice set of pads, brake fluid and SS lines will help you out there.

It's like a loud "clunk" noise right? Pretty sure that's just the ABS kicking in.

Wouldn't upgrade unless you are planning on being a regular at your local Auto-X track.
