My argument wasn't that the base wasn't adequate, but that you have a better option available to you and at a great value in the second hand car market.
Would I pay an extra $5-6K for better brakes? Absolutely. I consider brakes to be safety equipment. Can I afford $10K PCCB's? Let me check my stocks....err nope!
Actually Porsche have a history of running out of these before the end of a production year. So they are popular even at the price of a Kia.

But you won't get anywhere near 112' by just swapping the rotors and calipers, more like 116' or 117'. You need to do the Vac Booster and mc upgrade to come into the 112' range and in doing so, you've just added another $650 to the project.
Don't get me wrong, I believe you shouldn't have the GO without the WHOA, but not at any price, especially when the improvement is less than a car length for the $$ involved. But, I respect that others may/do have different opinions.
