Powerful brake setup

I wanted to do a setup that is a lot better than stock. But I dont want to do a big brake kit, bc I like to ride 15's in the winter. In terms of stock brake size, what is a noticable upgrade other than brembo slotted rotors? What kind of pads are really good? Should I get steel braided lines?

I guess, but that is costly. What is there for pads wise? Which pads are really powerful and dont squeek, I dont care about dust?

Hawk HP+ But they're gonna be dusty and pretty hard on rotors.
Ferodo DS2500, if you can find them... I haven't found an application list for them
Porterfields are supposed to be very good as well.

Baer will supposedly be bringing out an Eradispeed rotor in the stock size for us later this year (according to them on the phone).

You can replace the stock disks will sloted disks of the same size and replace the stock brake pads. You should feel a difference after that.
