I need better brakes! suggestions?

the one I have in my car are the original toyota brakes, what do you guys think of it?

Today i was going 100kph/60mph and suddenly needed to stop for a red light(it went from green to yellow), but i was already approaching the interaction so I braked hard I thought i would stop before the line but it didn't....... i heard the tire squeaked and it stopped 10 meters over the line... i estimated the stopping distance was about 50 meters.

I had the brakes checked by toyota a few weeks ago, they said it was top notch, a lot of pads left. My tires were new this season, they are yokohama AVID touring S 14".

if I want to lower the stopping distance, which should i go with? tires or brakes?

I can't fit a bigger rotor i guess cuz my wheels are standard 14"

thx!
