Unless you are roadracing your stock braking system is more than enough. Of course if you are into bling, you can buy some cross-drilled and slotted rotors but you won't stop any faster. Might even stop slower, since you have less effective rotor area due to cross-drilling.

If you want to read up about brakes do a search over in the roadracing/ auto-x section. Big topic over there.
