What would be the best upgrade for the money regarding brakes?
Also I presently am running 32s appears there is more room. Any one know how big I can comfortably go?
Lined housing, and jagwire/QBP slick cables, salmon Kool Stop pads (continental or Eagle II I think).
After that long the cables and housing need replacement anyway.
That will improve your braking quite a bit.

Of course, that's if you want it to remain close to original.
