Re: brakes
Its been asked loads before.
Theres no point putting bigger brakes on because your not exactly going to be going fast for a start.
Just get some decent pads and disks - mintex are a good make.
Also re-new the brake fluid.
But if you do want more stopping power, just get bigger calipers and disks, like rst/xr2i/si ect. Although you may need to upgrade parts of the system to do that like the servo.

Re: brakes
As said upgrade to the vented setup from the higher spec models, and use a decent set of pads and thats all the stopping power you should need for your car
