base brakes almost killed me

Get the Z1 upgrade and make sure you get stainless steel brake lines, use a temperature resistant brake fluid like Motul RBF660 and select pads with aggressive initial (cold) bite.

Sounds like your issues are in street driving, I suspect that your problem is one of response rather outright stopping distance. This setup should help in that regard. Once the brakes are into the ABS mode it's all up to the tires so make sure you'll got some good ones.
