Default NEED more braking power

Hi guys, I have a 97 accord lx non ABS. Recently I have noticed that I have to push the brake peddle farther to stop the same way as before. I think that is just because my brakes are wearing down. But on the free way a few days a go I had to stop because of an accident, the car in front of me stopped really quick and forced me to stop rapidly too. (I almost hit him.) I always keep my distance since I know I have no abs and that my breaks are not that great. But when I was pushing on the peddle I could feel it, I was pushing more and more and I was still not stopping. It was about to lock up but it didn’t. I want to know if I get slotted Brembo rotors and change my brake fluid and pads would that give me more braking power with out eating away at my pads or warping my rotors? I want to be able to stop even with 2 or 3 people in my car. When I have people in my car and I brake often after words when I get of the car I can smell the brakes and I don’t even brake that hard.

Any ideas or opinions are welcomed and appreciated.
