I ground out the casting marks for a smooth finish. It's not 100% necessary but it does improve the finish substantially IMO.
The brake lines will only really make a difference under heavy braking and will help with feel/modulation. It's not something that will have an immediate impact and make a profound difference, at least not in my case. However, since I changed the pads at the same time and was breaking them in, the 'feel' was lacking anyway. The lines are very good quality and will not perish so I would recommend them. I am yet to install my Cusco brake master cylinder brace because the wrong one was initially sent, however, this should compound the effects of the SS brake lines.
As for retaining the stock mountings and fittings for the lines, I bought a set of Goodridge brake lines which are direct replacements. I would, however, guess that compatibility depends somewhat on which kit you choose.
