Check out some big brake kits or bigger rotors. Your rotors might be warped or something.

bigger isnt always better for brakes

if your steering wheel is shaking under braking you have warped rotors.

2 new front rotors, 20$ a piece
GOOD front pads 60-80$
good fluid 15$

and you will have a great brake setup.
im not even going to argue with how people think a big brake kit with slotted/drilled rotors are madd phat y0! and they helped my stopping distance y0! because its a waste of breath. just go into the road racing forum and ask what they use.

brembo blanks and metal master pads works great for me

if your not gonna research what you need then go to a shop that actually races. not some shop that has display itmes that just sit. trust people who actually do it every weekend.

you should get an alignment first, that could be the problem with the wheel cutting either left or right.

For simple braking all you really need is the front brakes, since they are what takes the brunt of the braking, the rears are just for better balance. So if you are looking to go relatively cheap, just get either GSR/LS/SI front brakes, that should really be all you need! Hope I help.
