People need context. Rubber brake lines flex/expand with pressure. Having stainless brake lines "stiffens" the entire line, directing fluid to the caliper, adding more "power." Since it's hydraulics. If you were to have solid brake lines from the master cylinder to the caliper, the pedal would be Bill Clinton in the Oval Office sitting behind his desk.
Braking power is a result of surface area the pads interact with. IIRC braking info: soft pads are grippy and will wear out sooner, hard pads last a long time and uphold to heat well.
Solid, thick rotors will hold the most heat while still performing adequately, which is why ventilated and slotted rotors are the best all-around performance option. They'll stay cool, or cool quicker, and allow faster dispersion of gassing (I forget the actual term).
Drilled rotors are speed performance-oriented and not intended for significant dependability on stopping.
This is all for steel brakes, not exotic materials like carbon brakes, etc.
