I forget where I read, but a car with street tires and a car with DOT R tires stopping distances from 60mph is bettered by about 20-40 feet.
For instance difference between running snow tires and my Azenis.

you also got to mention your budget, i think....but if money is a prob, get new pads, possibly new rotors if yours now are scorched, warpped, etc. get some new brake fluid in them lines and possibly step up to stainless steal lines. CivicSiRacer made a good point about tires too. i changed my wheels the other day from my 711's to some cheapo winter tire, big difference
