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.

Congrats on going FI. Sounds like you met your goals. Yeah, I should have been more clear when I said better brakes I was referring to pads. I think oil cooler is a 100% must in this car for the track in the summer and a better radiator seems like a small investment as well.
I think the only other concern would be the clutch depending on how much torque you are making.
