Need advice on 4th gen brakes.

Hey everyone,
The rotors on my 4th gen 'lude Si are shot, and the pads aren't all that great either, so it's time for me to do some brake work before I don't have brakes anymore. :uhoh:
I tend to be rather hard on my brakes, and do a LOT of higher-speed (60-80mph) highway braking because of the idiot drivers in Cincinnati. I've determined that I would rather upgrade from the stock brakes; however, I feel that the Legend/NSX caliper/rotor swap is far more than what I need in braking ability, cost, and hassle.
So basically, I'm looking to get the best upgrade possible without having to worry about rotor width, pad shimming, drilling out rotors, or any other fabbing...using standard Si sizes for rotors and pads all around.
Does anyone know if Brembo blanks are available for an Si setup? and if so, I'd like to know where I could order them for the cheapest. I basically just need some highly warp-resistant rotors, so if anyone else has suggestions feel free to help me out.
I also need some decent pads, with some good grip that preferably don't leave a lot of dust behind.
And one more ? for you all, what brand of stainless steel lines do you use and where can they be had?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate any help I can get!
