Improving Brake Power

I'm driving a CL7A. Seriously need to beef up the brakes. It feels soggy and not enough stopping power for such a heavy car. Any recommendation(s) what I could do for easy direct-bolt, any workshops I could trust to do the upgrade? I have an average budget so the high-end stuff is out of my reach now.

Thanks for reading and look forward to your recommendations

Maybe consider change to steel braided hose instead of brake kit which can costs thousands.

1, drop all unneccessary weights , like spare tyres, heavy woofer, toys, flowers, including sliming dw

2. get good tyres . my minimum requirements is toyo888 but different ppl different tyres. get as wide a width for your profile

3. get good brakes pads . it is very important

4. replace those soggy rubber brake hoses

5. use engine brake

try these abv first . if it doesnt work very well, u can shop ard for a bigger calipers n rotors . i kinda like vttr for budget

gd luck
