Now I am sure that this will be an unpopular opinion BUT unless you are increasing the power output of the vehicle substantially I fail to see the point of upping the size of the brakes as your just going to out brake everyone else on the road and INCREASE the risk of being involved in an accident, even in a track environment I have yet to have the brakes on my mirage overheat/fade/feel inadequate in any way, admittedly I am doing mostly kahna or hillclimb events but all I have done is put some slotted rotors and a better quality pad to increase the coefficient of friction and have amazing stopping power even on a spirited drive on tight winding roads!
That said I have a set of rotors and calipers to go to 276mm on the front and keep the rear drums as they will have more than enough bite for the back of such a lightweight little vehicle and that way I don't have to play with the handbrake for the dirt tracks stomp the brakes and flick the rear around
