Default Let's talk brakes

A little spirited driving on twisty road and my brakes start to fade and make a grinding noice. The pads are still good but stopping distances are not. When I push a little hard into turns I'm having to downshift to slow the car down. Higher RPMS + S/C in turns = very touchy cornering.

I've been looking over various options, everything from a full rotor/caliper/lines setup to just replacing rotors and pads. I currently run 17" factory rims and may eventualy go to 18". Most aftermaket rotors/caliper setups requires 18" minimum but I'd like something that will fit my current 17" rims. My dad has a '99 M3 and man that thing is rediculous in turns. I'm looking for that sort of result.

Thanks
