Cayenne brakes are popular mod for Audi TT and Golfs... but I agree you can only have so much brakes until you reach the limited grip of the tires.

Insite is right on the money.
That said, if you don't track the car, I would keep your calipers. Then put in fresh fluid and good pads. After that, tires will dictate how quickly you stop.
Going to anything else will be wasted money and potentially decreased performance based on where you drive.
Oh, and frequently pads that throw off a lot of dust are the ones that stop best. It's up to you to determine where you fall on the scale of
No Dust ------------ Stopping Power

Put the GT3 ducts on. I do track my car, and noticed a great deal less fade on extended runs after installing the ducts. Now I don't have the guts to push the car as deep as the brakes will allow. Best (or maybe only) useful cheap/easy mod you can do!
