Brakes? Stock Size would be your best bet.

Looking for better stopping distance? Get better tires. Brakes do nothing if your tires don't hold.

You can always go better with a V710 or an A6/R6, but you won' t fit 355 rotors on your calipers.

Leave your stock brakes alone. Until you start getting brake fade, your stock setup is good enough. Get some Wilwood EXP 600 Plus fluid and some Hawk HP+ if you really want to spend money on your brakes. Hell, buy yourself some Castrol SRF brake fluid if you want to bling the car out. Fluid and pads should always be addressed first before rotors and calipers.

This is assuming you have 4-pot brakes.

If you can still lock your stock brakes then you don't need to replace them. Like Roen said: good tires, pads, and plenty of fluid is all you need.
