You could say "essential"...?
I reckon you might need something like the DBA5000 rotors (it was recommended to me by a toyota86 racer) and some nice race pads. If that does not work, you can try for a ducted brake cooling system...but it's possible that eventually you do need a big brake kit.

Essential it is. Thanks.
You are quite right about the brakes. Better rotors and pads combined with proper ducted cooling works I'm sure. BUT, looking at the cost it doesn't pay off. That would cost (almost) the same as going directly for a BBK. The BBK might not necessarily need the cooling and you can run less expensive brake pads and will wear the rotors less so in the running cost will be less.
I would eventually like the AP Racing Sprint Kit. For that reason I'm trying to minimise the costs right now with good pads (but not the best), good rotors (but not expensive 2-piece like you suggested) and small inexpensive cooling mod (Porsche air guides) instead of expensive ducting.
In line with the "economy/essential-theme", I am looking for something that is sufficient.
