Need new Pads and Rotors, performance options please

Hey, how are you?

Long story short, need new brakes, but don't have enough for a Big Brake Kit. I don't want oem either, so what options do I have for better pads, rotors and possibly stainless steel brake lines?

Thanks for taking a look and helping out!

I swapped my front rotors and pads with Powerstop and they have been working great for over 20,000 miles. The slotted rotors can hum a bit when stopping but haven’t had a warped rotor yet. They only make a kit for the front though.

The perceived advantages of stainless steel brake lines are very controversial so consider dropping them from your parts list and put the money toward improved pads and rotors (if needed).
