cheapest front brake upgrade with stock 15s?

I'm kind of in the mood for better stopping power, but nothing overkill. I'm maybe willing to sacrifice a few hundred bucks to stop better. It's not a priority right now but I've been lurking. The 1LE brakes wouldn't work with my current brake hoses (earl's SS) but would anything else?

Yep, I keep forgetting the 1LEs will fit in those wheels. Still, for the money, I'd run the C4s. But why do you say your hoses won't work with the 1LEs?
