Depands on what you are looking for. If you "cruise at >200km/h" for a hour or so and want the shortest stopping distance in case of an emergency, then new (bigger) brakes may not help. If you can lock up your tires (or activate your ABS) under hard braking at 200km/h by pushing progressively harder on your brake pedal (not just slaming on the brakes), then bigger brakes won't do anything. In this case, you should get stickier tires, as your tires are the limiting element of the braking system. A good R compound tire will give significantly better a shorter stopping distance, but you'll have to buy new tires every 5000kms or so.
If on the other hand, you drive your car in such a manner that is repeatedly generating a lot of heat in the braking system (i.e. driving at a race track), and the brakes start to fade (i.e. you can no longer lock up the tires under hard braking), then you need to look into either bigger brakes, cooling ducts, or both to dissipate the heat.
If you are just looking for something that looks cool, power coat the calipers red,yellow, etc and you're done :)
