Good stock rebuild...

I think what's been said so far covers it. New Brembo rotors, decent quality rebuilt calipers, NEW HOSES, a good set of pads, and good fluid.
On pads: Personally I'm fond of the OE Textar pads though I'm sure others will chime in with their favorites.
On fluid: There's a fair number of good fluids out there these days, ATE Super Blue/Typ 200 (same stuff, different colors), Castrol LMA, Valvoline Synthetic are all great street fluids. Fluids that meet the DOT 5.1 spec are technically better than DOT 4 fluids, but either is more than adequate for street and occasional track use (I've run track days at Laguna Seca - which is notoriously hard on brakes - on stock 9000T brakes, Textar pads and ATE Super Blue fluid.)
Note that DOT 5.1 is *not* DOT 5. DOT 5 is an oddball silicone formulation that does NOT mix with other brake fluids and has a lot of other problems and should be avoided.
