When you installed the new pads and rotors did you install new hardware as well? Re-using old hardware can cause the pads to drag.

Clean & regrease the old pins, reuse, not difficult to do. I would try that before buying new hardware.

The price depends on the year of the car in question, most namely if it is an 02-03. If you do in fact own an 02-03, this is good reading:
Upgrading to stronger 2k1 MAF?
Pics are dead, but once you see your own parts, it's very straight forward, albeit a touch delicate.
If you have an 00-01 disregard the last link and a direct replacement. Keep in mind, you might need an ECU reflash, but don't worry about that until after the new pace is installed.
Either way, get a hold of Dave, and he will get you the best price.

As far as spark plugs just go with OEM NGK platinums. Iridiums are a waste unless you have forced induction.

On the VQ35, the difference in money is 1 or 2 dollars / plug. So if you had a 3.5L, I would go w/ Ir's.
