First, you've got to remember that they're not disc brakes and are never going to be close.
The first and cheapest option is checking they're properly set up and buy new brake pads (fibrax for cheap or Swissstop for +$).
Next is upgrading to better calipers. Shimano are always good. 105s with decent pads should be fine n
Next is upgrading to ceramic rims. To my knowledge mavic open pros are the only ones ~£80 a rim. You will also need ceramic specific pads and I think the main benefit is only really in the wet.
