As for brake feel, I think my pads are getting low anyway, and I always replace scored/lipped rotors while I'm in there.. since cheap.. If there is no improvement in brake feel, I still need to replace. But let's see.

It certainly won't hurt to replace them, especially since the rotors are already lipped. After you replace them bleed your brakes using the two-person method, bed them in sufficiently, and then bleed a second time. Usually I find that the ABS and brake booster systems can sometimes hold air at the top of the system but it can be pushed down with sufficient repeated hard braking, which can be part of bedding. That second bleeding usually fully evacuates any air from the system.
If bleeding isn't sufficient, the only way to make them any harder might be stainless steel lines and a master cylinder brace, both of which will reduce "slop" in the pedal. The brakes in this platform have a lot of take-up with easy travel before they feel hard /even when brakes are being applied/ because of the way the electronic brake assist works. It kind of annoys me too. With some BBKs you get much harder brake pedal due to piston sizing, but they wouldn't be suitable for primarily street driving.
Generally though, bleeding properly should get you where you need to be.
