Default EG brake upgrade without going with bigger rotors/calipers

The set of Bogart Slicks I have for my car are 13's

They fit the OEM brake rotor and caliper perfect.

Im wondering what I can do to my braking setup to stop better, without going BIGGER. Different calipers, different rotors, Hawk pads, new brake master cylinder?

It stops fine now, just looking for alittle extra stopping power if I were to go road racing..
I dont want a big brake kit because of my Slicks.

everyone seems to like hawks, i have seen them fall apart literally if they werent bedded correctly.

i would go with axxis metalmasters, stainless lines (goodridge, russel, etc) and some motul fluid or honestly any dot 4 would work fine.

also if you are taking it to a roadcourse, sticky tires will make a world of difference not only in handling but in braking as well, if you have stiff hard tires with great brakes, youll just put flatspots in your tires.
