Everything I need? So I want to put new rotors and pads on my car, I have decided to go with the duralast blanks after reading many posts here
-4 rotors
-Brake pads (what kind I want something that is great but not overly pricey)
-Anything else?

Hopefully some others will chime in but, if you want, stainless lines will help as well as a full brake fluid flush (I think Super Blue brake fluid is what most like on here) will benefit you if your car has some miles on it. Other than that, i think someone that knows more about brakes than I will have to chime in.

Here is what you need:
* 4 rotors (front and rear -- ex: AutoZone DuraLast or Brembo OEM blanks)
* 2 axle-sets of pads (front and rear -- ex: Hawk HPS)
Optional:
* New brake fluid to flush/bleed the system (ex: ATE Super Blue)
Here is a writeup on replacing the rotors and pads:

Do one at a time instead of jacking up the whole car though.
Here are some threads on bleeding the system:
<< Search isn't working right now>>
Also, while you are at it, grease up the sliding pins with a good high temp grease.
There are plenty more things you can do (upgrades etc), but that's all you really need
