First things to try:

1. ATE Blue or similar brake fluid
2. Hawk Blue race pads or similar
3. Brake Ducts (see tech article)
4. Rebuild Calipers

Next.

1. Consider larger MC.
2. Larger Brakes up front

One of the main reasons I like larger brakes up front is increased pad life. A friend goes through a set of pads in 1 to 2 weekends on his F-Class stock Carrera. Where as the large (4 piston) Wilwood pads can last a couple of years.
