'02 LX front brake upgrade?

Ok, my brakes are needing to be replaced. This car is only a daily driver with little romps on country roads. What should I be upgrading with? Pads-Brand? Rotors-brand? Calipers? How extensive should I go? I should be replacing the lines with stainless steel, right?

how many miles are on your car? since your car just just a daily driver, you only need to replace your pads/rotors. OEM parts should be fine

it has 25k on it, I was thinking maybe pads or something upgraded just to increase the performance a little.

neuspeed cross drilled brake roter for a littler better cooling and brake dust disipation.
They are like $184 for a set. They have performance Axxis brake pads as well for $28.35 per side.

On the site they don't have the drilled roter displayed yet, but they have them in stock.

I have the AEM slotted big rotor kit it was $400 for the set and includes bracket to use the stock caliper. I have no complaints about them.

FYI... that is a great kit, but only if you have 16 inch or bigger rims.
