I'm wanting to upgrade my brakes. I don't want anything that's overkill, since my car will never see a track. Any suggestions?

If this car will not see a track you dont need bigger calipars lol
Get some decent pads!
Machine or get some plain rotors. No you dont need slotted. No you dont need drilled or dimpled. As you mentioned you will not see a track. You will be wasting your money.

What else you should do is bleed the brakes as well.

As well if this car will not see a track dont go and spend more money on race pads. Race pads have optimal working tempertures. You need to heat them up before they they bite well.

Do you research.
