SS Brake Upgrade - same size
What is available as a real upgrade to the SS Brakes without changing the size of the rotors/calipers? Are materials of construction or drilling/slotting significant enough an improvement to be worth the cost. I run 18" rims in the winter for snow tires, so I don't want to go bigger, I just want to go better - if it is possible. It'll be mostly a Daily Driver, but some track events are planned, so want to be sure I have a bit more bite.
Who are the reliable makers out there? What are the best options? Feel free to point to an existing thread, but I couldn't find one. Thanks!!

I have done 3 track days on the powerstop track day pads. They work great and have good stopping power and modulation.

Brakes are mechanically fine... they DO however require more cooling.
I purchased Titanium backing plates and ducting for the brakes to keep em cool. Caliper and rotors are fine and will not get you any benefit with same-size upgrades.
