So maybe new calipers, pads and mc would make it good? 80,000 miles.
Planning to do a 6.0LQ9(LS) swap. The 301 is a dog and drinks a ton of gas, but this all is another subject.

It sounds like you just need to go through the whole system. Source new calipers, replace any hardline that looks bad and replace all the flex lines. If you want a bit better feel at the pedal use braided steel hose for the soft lines.
I’d go with a more performance oriented pad like the hawk hps or the carbotech 1510.
If you’re going to be doing performance driving, fill the system with a quality, high temp dot 4 fluid.
