If it were me, the first/cheapest thing I would look at would be some more aggressive brake pads. Maybe some Hawk HP Streets or Carbotech Panther pads. If your brakes already work well enough to lock your tires on dry pavement upon hard stopping then look at stickier tires - for example, I really like Michelin Pilots (assuming street use). The latter won't be cheap, but it will be effective.

I'm with Mitch and Fulton on this.

Depending on the pad I hope you don't mind a little extra dust or squeal.
