| As the others have said, make sure it's all working first as the stock setup is pretty damn good. I'd replace rubber hoses with braided ones first as it's not that expensive, and while everything is apart you can clean the calipers and then top-up with fresh fluid and bleed it all through.
When you're cleaning the calipers, and you obviously have the pads out, check for glazing on the pads - you may see a rainbow sheen on them from certainly angles. You can clean this off by putting a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface and rubbing the pad across it until the sheen disappears.
If you still find it's not right, try replacing the master cylinder with a Brembo radial - either from a 999/749 (as you can pick these up quite cheap) or the pukka race one. If that's still not enough, you could swap to P4 calipers if you have the 65mm mounts (the distance between the bolt holes on the calipers) or you may want to replace your fork bottoms to allow you to get radial calipers at the same time. Then there's cast iron disks and different pad compounds to try.
I reckon a damn good clean and a flush of the fluid then topped up with some fresh stuff will do the trick though!
