You can get one manufactured by TMD (Textar, Mintex, Pagid). They are sold in a large price range. I put Mintex on mine (got them for like $33 a pair) and they seemed to work just as good as the more expensive Textar...for all I know since TMD makes them both the material is probably pretty close. Here's the deal though, I HATE brake dust so I took them off and put on Akebono, I had them on my Benz and just loved them...no more nightly cleaning! The pads I took off are back in the box with 400 miles on them, maybe if I decide to do some light tracking I'll put the Mintex back on so as to save the more expensive Akebono's.
As for fuel filter, I think it is recommended in the 30-60k mileage. I'd have to look it up. I changed mine when I got the car at 54k miles. It's kind of a pain in the butt but not hard, can be messy, I'm glad I don't have to do it often. Like you I was just doing a lot of preventative maintenance.
