Goodridge brake lines are one of the better brands. Make sure you don't get cheap ebay specials, get them from a local goodridge distributor.
I've had quite good results with EBC yellow brake pads (not a low dust option, but less than std) for both street and circuit track days. They have goos wear rates even at the track, minor dust reduction, low noise, good rotor wear (very important) and good inital bite with good even pedal feel.
There are others here that have tried other brands with success, there are a few good options available for you.

I went with the StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Lines as the Goodyear were having leaking problems. Also, get some better brake fluid. I use ATE Type 200 Brake Fluid but doing it over again I would go with the Motul as it has a slightly higher boiling point. Check out- http://www.motorspotstore.com/mobrfl.html.

I agree, Hawk HPS are excellent performance pads for the street and have almost no dust. They dust less than Axxis Ultimates. Just make sure you apply anti squeal on the back & SIDES of the pad backing plate (most of the noise actually comes from the sides not the back of the plate).
Also, upgrading tires does help significantly in allowing the brakes to do their job so make sure you go with a high quality performance tire like a Direzza Z1 & etc.
Goodridge have had leaking problems so I would stay away from them, I'm surprised tirerack even carries them anymore. Stoptech line are the best on the market and are worth it.
