My brakes suck, need help

Now that my car has a bit more power than stock, I feel its long overdue for some better brakes. I already have some Performance Friction pads on that did squat for my braking. It has horrible fade (100+ stops are scary) and requires too much pedal effort.

I do not want to upgrade to rear discs because its way overrated and too expensive for almost no gain. However, I want to focus up front and I am looking to replace my stock brake lines with braided hoses, flush my brake fluid, install cooling ducts and replace the pads, but I want better rotors. I have 15" wheels and need a decent set of drilled or slotted rotors for a decent price. The only problem is that I dont know who makes what. All help is appreciated.
