They won't corrode - that's the point of stainless steel, just like your cutlery!
Whether you notice or benefit from spending the money inc fitting, is open to debate.
Done mine on the Accord (TSX), and can't say I noticed anything out of the ordinary - mind you, I did the discs and pads at the same time, so hard to draw any meaningful conclusion.
Braking did (still does) feel good, but can't say that's down to the braided lines, the Ferodo discs (Brembo blanks!) or pads, or even the Motul brake fluid.
If I'm perfectly honest, it's another of those cachet things you do, unless you go to track days, in which case they may help a little, but I believe you'd need to be running some seriously aggressive pads/slotted discs, and the Motul RBF600 fluid, before line bulging is the limiting factor.
It's not an expensive mod, but beyond any placebo effect, you might question why you bothered.
