Chris (OP) doesn't seem to want to talk about his needs much but I'm interested to see everyone's input regarding the best way to improve braking without frivolous expenses.

At what point should the braking system be upgraded? I am under the impression that "if you can't lock up your tires under hard braking then you're outdriving your brakes" but I don't know how realistic/correct this is though.
I would love to talk about this. I just don't want people trying to tell me I don't need big brakes. The fact is is that I am getting big brakes front and rear and I would like to have a conversation about how to make that work properly. Not a conversation about whether I should do it or not.
