Noob brake question

Hi,

Always looking for an opportunity to spend money on my car that would yield a more fun ride. The time is approaching when I will need new brakes. Their are plenty of after market brake pads, rotors, lines, fluids that I can purchase and install and have it cost less than going to a Meineke and having them do a brake/rotor replacement

My question is this.. If i do spend the money on after marketing pads and stuff for brakes (but dont replace the actual calipers or going for a serious brake kit as they are like 5k) will I notice a difference in the driving feel, stopping power of my FRS for every day driving? I dont track, I dont autocross, I do spirited driving and rarely drive hard for more than 5 minutes. You know,... here is a corner let me dive bomb it.. or, their is this straight away coming up let me open up the throttle then I need to slam on the brakes.

I understand after market products allow you to drive harder for longer because they dont heat up as easily. This will not be the case at all for me as I just dont drive like that.

thank you!
