Brake Pads and SS Lines For New X-drilled Rotors

I just purchased some X-drilled rotors and I need to find some good brake pads and ss lines to upgrade my system. Are there any suggestions? I plan to do a few auto-X's and maybe a few track days, but nothing in the line of all-out racing.

Hawk HPS pads. The Hawk HP+ are better for occasional track days but they squeal and dust badly in daily driving.

What about a good daily driving pad? Although I only drive it on the weekends, I hate the squeal and dust issues.

Also, what about ss brake lines? I only know of Goodridge but are there any others at a lower cost?

The HPS is a good daily driver pad IMO. The only better pads (?) might be the stock pads, believe it or not.

Brake lines are not a place to cheap out on...get the Goodrich lines. I haven't seen any lines for sale for significantly less.

Autozone? Good god, man.

No, the OEM Mazda pads, which cost about twice as much as Hawk HPS pads. Trust me, just get the HPS pads. You will like them for daily driving.

The Bonez Performance Pads work well for the street. Nice bite over the OEM pads:

Just don't jump on a track with 'em.
