Unless you are doing a lot of DH, not much, knowing what you have now would help, would suspect the frame can't take any more than 180f/160r

What do you currently have? Generally, you can't upgrade brake levers, as they are part of a system, the only way you can, is if you keep with in a single brand and generation within that brand, then you need to look into cost effectiveness. For lever adjustment, Shimano current SLX up have this as an dial on the lever
