I have Galfers.

Be forewarned, those european bastards don't give you any instructions, so you need to figure out how the lines go. I.e. the banjos are all at different angles so you need to figure out the combination of angles/orientations that works.

They made a huge difference in braking for me though.

Invest in some speedbleeders as well... they are awesome.

What do you think of Kevlar brake lines? Should I upgrade to stainless steel at some point?

They expand a little more than SS...although at street speeds you'll never notice the difference.

so when completely draining the brakes and putting on new lines. How many bottle of brake fluid I'm gonna need?

And should I be using Dot 4 or 5 with SS lines?

1 bottle should work...unless your lines are 100 feet long like Gas Man's. I use Bel-Ray Super DOT 4. Just make sure they are bled well.
