If your looking for better fade resistance from your brakes than you're better off with just changing the pads for a performance version from a performance brake pad manufacturer. Truth is though the weakest link in stopping power likely isn't your brakes but the traction your tires have. Change the tires for a street summer or performance tire and it will improve braking and handling greatly in the right temperature conditions. If you live I a climate with winter conditions though you'll need to change those out in the fall.
Honestly though for an SUV the Mazda CX5 strikes the best balance between ride and handling and the stock brakes are fantastic as they are. If you are trying to make your SUV into something it's not like a sports car than you're likely to throw away tons of money and only get marginally better results with compromises like harsh ride and poor winter traction. You'd be better off investing that money into something that will give you a return on your investment especially if your under 50.
