Is it a good idea to do the ls brake upgrade without the ss lines?

In general that is correct, unless stated other wise.
For USDM car, start at the passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front and finally driver front. Bleed the entire system every time the system is opened. I always test drive afterwards and bleed once more to be sure.

I did the Supra TT front brake caliper swap on my car and held off on installing SS lines because I was afraid of stripping the old hard line fittings with my tools. The car braked amazingly with the high mileage stock rubber lines but once I got used to it over time I decided to have the SS lines installed by my mechanic. Very mild but noticeable difference in pedal feel. It became a tad more linear.
Bottom line: you can get away with this as long as those lines are in decent shape for their age, however the best thing is to install the SS lines and be done with it since you're already in there.

Is it better to do the LS upgrade or the Supra TT front caliper swap? I have an Sc400 and it is a daily driver, so I don't need excessive performance, but I do want better stopping power for those weekend splurges.
