Unfortunately, there's not a lot of options for us.

Do not fall in to the trap of holes, dimples, and slots. Strictly for bling with no functional improvement. And holes can often create stress risers that can cause cracking. Stick with a good rotor with a flat solid surface.

I haven't been able to find any better calipers for us.

Good pads is about the only place you can make a significant improvement. Everyone seems to have their favorite. Be careful about ceramic pads. Some of them are not rated for towing. Personally, I'v used Performance Friction carbon fiber pads with good results.
