Jim, It's all just a matter of money. There are several options.
1. Stay stock, and rebuild the front and rear brakes, and MC. This is
the cheapest. Check Rick's for prices of rebuild kits.
2. Add a booster, but you will have to rebuild it, and if molested
before, will have to sleeve it, and this will cost about $400.
3. Add booster from Brit Vic, about $250, with mods to make it fit.
4. Add kits for front brakes. Dale A has kits for front.
5. Add kit for rear caliber. Dale A has kits for rear.
6. Add kit for Wilwood fronts. Dale A and Joel Griffin >

7. Add kit for Wilwood rears, see Joel.
8. Design your own. I did this, and it took about 2 years, for Wilwood
fronts and Fiat rears, with Jap MC.
9. What pad compounds are you looking at, stock semi metallic?, Carbon/Kevlar?
How much do you want to spend? $300, $2000, more?
If you just want a street car, rebuild the stock setup, and they will
work fine, with or without a booster.
You are certainly heading in the right direction, by knowing that you
can go fast, but need to stop as well.
