Depends what you want to spend. South African vented front brakes,
Audi rear discs all the way up to complete Porsche 993 setup.

I have gone for the last, which requires 17" wheels or larger to
clear the Brembo calipers. This little lot cost me about $7100US. But
acceleration to a stop will be capable of real violence!
