Anyone know the cheapest way to upgrade your brakes? I feel my non-brembo oem brakes is not strong enough...but I dont want to spend another 2k for a new set..any suggestion?

Since you live in a cold climate careful about researching after market pads. As you raise the peak operating temperature it comes off the bottom. Good high temp pads will be BAD low temperature pads............before you warm rotors and pads up to 150-200F. This can let you blow thru stop signs in winter.

The oem high dust [carbon particles] is there to tweak the cold and initial bite to resolve problems..........low dust pads may not be so good in Canada winters.

Could your problems be tires not operating at correct tread temperature?
Summer performance tires are pretty useless below 50F.

I got two set of tires, winter tires and my summer tires. I dont put on my summer until late April or May...so what you mean is low dust pad is mostly for warming region right?

Good tires will be your biggest friend in braking better if you plan to keep the stock calipers.
