Does your car already have the Brembo brakes on it? If not, the simplest and least expensive route is to upgrade your car with the factory 4-piston Brembos.

no, unfortunately, these are ordinary brakes, they are very weak, the car slows down badly, but I don't know what to put on.

Like I wrote before, you can upgrade to the factory Brembo brakes for pretty cheap, go to a junk yard and find either a TL Type-S or a 2004-2006 model with a 6-Speed manual transmission and pull the brake rotors, Brembo calipers, splash guards, and the knuckles, and put them on your car; upgrade complete.

You mean that your car slowes down poorly ? What other car you are comparing it to?

Normally it should stop quickly on stock brakes and calipers. Problem is that if you plan to track the car - then repeated braking will overheat stock setup and you lose braking.

Maybe it's just issue of shitty pads and rotors? Or hose / caliper / caliper slide pins are stuck and limiting the braking power. If pedal is very hard maybe booster is faulty?

I was assuming he has bad braking because of those monster wheels I see in his avatar images. If those are in fact his wheels, their rotational mass compared to stock wheels will be significant and definitely degrade braking.
