Well I took care of this "problem" and recently had a supercharger, as well as a few exhaust pieces, installed. Sitting at around 290-300 hp now and the car feels great.

I have been debating this for quite some time and at this point I want to wait and see how these different kits hold up over time and also see if Subaru and Toyota offer something more powerful...

Even with 300 hp this car's brakes are fine. Upgrade the pads for the track and no worries. I'm doing my first track event with the car, at VIR, the 2nd week of November. All my cooling is stock for now but I think it'll be fine in the 50-60° air. An oil cooler is the next mod on the list, which I will have done before tracking the car in warmer weather.
But people that say this car needs all these brake and suspension upgrades to handle an extra 50-100 hp are wrong. The chassis isn't overpowered; it's fine.
