Address the above mentioned things first... if the rest of the system is in good condition the easiest thing to improve braking is to get some performance pads, I use HAWK HPS on one of my 2d gen cars, they make a huge difference over stock pads. This car is a 500+hp 72 firebird that runs low 11s at 121+mph, with rear drums! with the HAWK pads & slotted rotors it stops better than my 81 with 4 wheel disc. Although a 4 wheel disc car should confidently stop the car even with a higher power engine.
HAWK pads arent very expensive, they work great on the street with no heat up required like some "race" pads and they have very low dust to keep wheels clean.
