Don't bother changing the rotors. Save your money. Get a nice set of Endless pads and some good fluid and you'll get much better braking performance.

Don't forget some good tires! You could have 8 piston calipers with the best pads and rotors but without decent tires you won't be reducing your braking distance by much. You'll just have ABS kicking in a lot more and you'll be able to brake more often without fade.
Tires are very important in reducing braking distance.
