Ed - are you sure it's the discs? New pads make a heck of a difference, but the best thing for the old NC30 is braided lines. A bike of that age will have rubber pipes that expand so much the brakes feel really spongy and probably come all the way to the bar if you really pull them. Unless the discs are warped or really worn, they should be fine. I have a set of Goodridge braided lines for the front that are still in the box unused.
