This may be caused by high rotor temperatures (only), or perhaps it's the higher speeds where warping becomes noticeable, not sure.

Either way, the rotors and pads need upgrading. Any recommendations for my type of driving, not exactly track driving but aggressive road driving.

Is there also a brake fluid that might improve performance, while I'm at it?

Cost is a consideration in that I don't want to spend more than I need to for my needs, no overkill (no pro race car set ups). Thanks in advance.
Akebobo premium ceramic pads, and Motul brake fluid with the master cylinder brace from Z1 will add huge improvement. Huge.
