For stopping power, tires make the biggest difference, brake pads make a smaller difference. The Hawk DTC pads I use have about double the friction the Ferrodos have. Bigger rotors would have to be double the diameter to do that much. I've heard that suspension setup also makes a difference in stopping power, but I don't know anything about that.

For sliding around in the seats, I use a locking clip like this one. It locks the lap belt tight and is a big help. For this year, I bought a Schroth 4-point harness, but I haven't tried it yet.
