Stock pads or Hawks seem like a reasonable idea. I used a set of Hawk HPS for a long time and they were decent for street driving, and the Hawk Ceramic street pads sound decent and were recommended above as well. I'm planning to try out the Carbotech Bobcat street pads that were also mentioned above starting in early Nov (after my next track appointment), but no personal review on them yet.

As for the rest, as mentioned above I'd flush the fluid with fresh stuff. Just don't accidentally buy a silicone-based fluid (DOT 5.0). Stick with DOT4-compat stuff, and if you want to splurge, get higher boiling point stuff. SS brake lines are nice and relatively cheap too.
