It isnt rust. Its oxidation.

More stopping power, less resistant to fade, and a cool factor. If you're not do autox or road racing it's useless. For the street you're not gonna be running your brakes that hard enough to fade.

just get better tires.
hit the brakes hard, if you can get your abs to kick in, the tires are holding you back more than the brakes.

Those brakes are pretty good. To get a really good improvement over stock a new caliper and brake hose lines would be the next step.

As far as tires stopping your car, thats interesting haha never heard anyone say that one before.

Bigger brakes definitly help you go faster around the track, and give can give you better car control overall.

Don't get a new caliper get brake pads they're gonna give more effect over calipers.

As for tires stopping the car it's true. Tires are the only objects that are making contact with the road. Brakes help the wheels slow down to make the car stop.

well tires aren't that important to me, I have sommer tire that do fine I haven't had to much wheel skid. The problems that I will run into are: the caliper deing to small on the EX than the SI mod, and If I do the mod will I be able to still go back to my 16” rims in the winter time. This mod for me will all take time and planning but when its done it should look and perform nice.
