Help with labour times
Hopefully doing a few upgrades on my stock brakes.
Looking for good estimates of labour times on the following:
Remove and replace all four rotors?
Remove and replace all four brake pads?
Remove brake lines and install Stainless steel?
Any feedback would be appreciated!

depends
on your experience and type of tools availible.
Once the wheels are off it should take about 1 hour to remove the brake pads. The rotors will take a little longer depending on it they get stuck. The SS brake lines are easy, just remember to bleed the brake system to get the air out. If you have all the parts and tools it should be able to get done in Saturday of work. Good time to paint your calipers while you are disconnecting your lines and removing your rotors but add time for them to dry.
Tip: Do one wheel at a time. This will take longer but you can use the other wheel as a reference incase you forget how things fit back together.

A shop I've done business with before said 1hr lab for the rotors and pads which seems fair. How long would it take to do SS lines and new fluid?

Bleeding might take a while, depending on how much they bleed (how many times). Estimate... less than 30 minutes (max).
