Fluids, Motul or ATE(used the amber/gold fluid, not blue). Castrol syn. brake fluid I have heard is pretty damn good.
Pads, Hawk HPS. I'm ganna be running Axxis Ultimates in about 2 weeks...
And I know what you mean bout the terrible braking...its horrible up in the mountains(espically downhill)

I was gonna suggest the brake line thing, but nm juggalo beat me to it.
How about some aftermarket rotors to match upgraded pads, for example Brembo or Powerstops with Axxis pads?
a little HT adds engine braking

Hooray for engine braking. The diff between autos and manual trannies, lol. I love engine stopping, it's saved my life a couple of times. Just don't shift lock, lol.
