Perfomance Calipers and rotors...
I have my car for 1 year and I do not like the braking efficiency increasingly as brake wear is felt. What kind of "Calipers" and of "Rotors" could make a big difference on my car?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

A big brake kit would help with the brake fade. That's a lot of money though. Higher temperature brake fluid should help a bit too. Slotted/drilled rotors may help a bit too.
I'm having a hard time understanding how you get brake fade while city driving. Maybe slow down a bit?

I'm using 18 inches tires, it's the 6cyl SH-AWD Tech and is the tires coming from the dealer (I don't remember exactly the dimension because I'm working and I'm not able to get it now) If you need it, I could tell you later at the end of the day.
I don't run fast and it's not the cause because I want to change it, it's only to have better brake sensation. I know it's probably not necessary but I would like to know which model of calipers and rotors are better than the original

For better brake feel the only thing I can think of that you can safely change (without doing a ton of research) are the brake pads. You can get more aggressive pads that'll give your brakes more bite, but be warned- you'll have much more brake dust being generated.

Take the craptastic OEM tires off and get some new tires. Tires make a huge difference in stopping power.

if "brake feel" is the primary reason, then change the brake lines to stainless steel braided lines. The SS lines don't expand as much when compared to the stock lines, so it will give you a firmer brake pedal feel
