Are you wanting to upgrade for looks or performance? If its for better performance a simple pad swap will give you a lot better performance. More aggressive pads will make the car stop faster, aswell as fresh high performance dot 4 brake fluid.

I like motul dot 4 race fluid, as for performance brake pads you have companies like EBC, Dynamic Friction etc. Just know the more aggressive the brake pads are, the more wear they put on the rotors. So if you slapped on performance pads, they would give more braking power then oem and not destroy the rotors. If you run full racing pads, braking would be amazing, but you will wear the rotors and maybe create noises.

Pads for GSF calipers are brembo and super pricey.
