Brake pads/rotors and sway bar links?

Hello everyone!
I am still pretty new here but I have learned a lot.
I have had my 2010 Max SV for like 7 months/9K miles.
Been running great so far I have changed the oil twice.
The brakes are starting to get a little weak and make some noise so I was thinking of buying a kit. Any recs on a good set?

I also feel there is a lot of body sway when cornering at high speed. Would getting new sway bar links help that? How much are they and are they easy to install?

Welcome good sir. Glad it’s running good. Are you using full synthetic?

like many gentlemen on here,I’ve been around cars my entire life. So I’ve been a broke teenager trying cheap rotors and pads. Now being a semi adult with a decent paying job,I’ve tried more expensive things. To me,hands down the best rotors and pads I’ve ever had are ebc rotors with red stuff pads. Simply amazing. No other way to describe it. Again just my personal opinion

I put powerstop Z23 kit on my max. Its a great kit. Your sway issues are probably more than bushings may need struts and a sway bar if those are still the original ones.

Brembo UV coated blanks and Akebono ProACT pads are a great performing and economic pairing.
