16' GLE63 Brake Options, Brembo?

I want to upgrade my rotors in the front for a 2016 GLE 63 SUV (non-coupe). Here's a link if you're interested in looking at the rotors that I found on Brembo's website:

https://www.brembostoreusa.com/shop/#rotor-&-drum-singles

Does anyone have these installed and if so what are your opinions or any experience with these or any kind of info I can get as to what I can expect out of this would be helpful. (Mostly I'm looking for better braking power and when I go to an enclosed circuit where I can really take off in the truck legally and apply the brakes a few times they start to feel like the aren't working as well anymore)

Or if you have recommendations for a totally different type of brake rotor in the front I would love to hear about it.

Just look like standard rotors. Your best bet is a nice set of ceramic pads meant for the track.

Assuming the hydraulic lines and brake calipers are currently functioning appropriately, you'd get more result from high temp fluid + track only pads. You won't see a noticeable difference with rotors only and normally you can't use a larger rotor than spec'd unless you get new calipers or new caliper brackets.
