Upgrading the front stock 10.5 dia rotors & calpiers is more involved then just buying larger parts that will not work on your car. I would do a some research before asking questions about larger brakes.

I dont want to make anything larger. I just want rotors that are better than stock.

The rotors are not the problem (stay away from slotted & drilled) just buy a good quality brand name. The more important part are the PADS and this a area you can't go cheap with. Now they depend on driving style and how much brake dust you are willing to live with.
