It's definitely a money gun problem, eh? Funnily enough my BBSs are in the air and on the way to me, they will need tyres this time next week! 💸
You and @mcmyk have nailed it, refreshed rotors, pads and lines is probably the answer and will hopefully fix everything. If that doesn't work then I obvs need huuuuuge Brembos (and bigger rims to accommodate them) so I can take the dog to his favourite walkies spot safely and in the utmost comfort.

One thing you can try before firing the money gun is re-bedding the pads in. If the pads or discs have glazed a bit, it can really help with getting the pads re-acquainted with the discs.
Rather than writing it all out, follow this guide:

I've been using this same guide for 20 years (they update the pic but the text is the same).

Could be many things all adding up to shit braking. Even with a fluid flush the lines might not be clean. Can take multiple goes to get them clear and air free too. Old pads could be glazed so not 'biting' or maybe being an import it's got some fancy race pads on that are shit when not hot i.e street driving? I would think the discs would be ok as long as they are not grooved or heavily worn.
Definitely try braided lines as the old rubber lines could be well past their best and basically acting as balloons and sapping power/feel. Then you'll do new fluid anyway and a re bleed.
Then your brakes will be good and your tyres will need an upgrade.... And then....
