My personal preference is to leave the bracket black, as it frames the caliper.

If you apply the brakes as hard as you can now, does the abs kick in? If so then bigger brakes will not stop you any quicker, just kick in the abs sooner. You can only stop as quick as the tire grip will allow. Bigger brakes are better at dissipating heat, but unless you track the car for long runs you won’t build up that much heat. If I was you I would replace any lines you think might be bad. Install the stainless braided lines. If you want the cool look factor, then either paint or powder coat the calipers. Put some cadmium plated slotted rotors on it and some decent pads. If it’s not already J55 you could ad that very easily. The DRM bias spring will put a little more rear brake in it, so that could help you some too.

Exactly what IBVETN2 and MattMiller said. And I will add, the correct brake pad is important. Im familiar with different Hawk Pads so Id recommend the HPS or if want a little more aggressive the Street/Race Pads. I dont run a bias spring to get more rear braking. Id rather not chance locking up my rear wheels coming down from 100+ mph into a corner.
