Re: Seeking recommendations re: upgrading brakes ?
You could PM OT (Svxfiles), or go here to order: http://www.svxfiles.com/brakes.html I don't know if they're still available based on the message on the top of that URL.
The full upgrade kit is what I've been running for several years now. Very pleased with performance. Can be a little squeaky when wet/cold, but that's because I got the dimpled and slotted rotors. They work great for Auto-X (If only my sloppy stock suspension could keep up!)
With regards to it being enough, it's been discussed on here before, the stock brakes are sufficient enough to get ABS to engage, which means a big brake kit is not necessary for better braking (tires would be the first step). The only real benefit the big brake kits offer is more surface area / airflow, to dissipate the heat, which means less brake fade on track days. From the way you describe your driving, I think OT's kit will be more than enough for you, and its a great price to boot.
