Welcome to MVS.
You didn't say what exactly you want to do. Are you wanting to upgrade to a different size rotor or just better materials (slotted, drilled, etc. rotors)?

For a one time emergency stop, your OEM pads are great. If you want to race the car through the streets then go to a quality ceramic pad. Now with a OEM pads, you could stop shorter than average if you had a tire with a low treadwear rating. It would be nice and sticky. Like Michelin Pilots at 120 treadwear rating.
