Easiest brake upgrade would be to get a set of integra brakes. They are a tad bit bigger. If you want to go all out you can always get a big brake kit. Cons of course you have to stick with larger size rims and drag radials at the track. Pros, SICK BRAKING...obviously . Here is my wilwood kit mated to my old 17" gunmetal wheels.

bigger isnt always better
if you dont want to spend an awful amount of money of brakes
good pads and fluid are all you need.
unless your planning to road race for extended periods of time.
