I don't see why, given your driving situation, you need to upgrade the brakes. The stock brakes have more than sufficient power to stop your car very quickly, at Autobahn speeds. What bigger brakes are going to give you is additional fade resistance. But for highway driving, you won't need that. For highway driving, your biggest differentiator is the tire. On track, it's a completely different story of course...
