By meaning best, I mean the most stopping power for the money.

Check out www.movit.de
They adapt Porsche brakes for every car. They even have the caremic brakes and the 380 mm GT2 brakes.
Awesome suff, I've seen their work in person.

Enginyr, if my mind serves me correctly, they also have an American importer.
They do make some nice stuff, don't they?

Enginyr, this is the ultimate brake upgrade!!
The caremic brakes!!

Pros:
Unsprung weight drops by 60%
Low braking temperature.
Rotors last 150000 miles.
No brake noise.
Most importantly, they don't produce dust!!!!

Cons:
Expensive!!!

Here's a pic.

I think something like 14".
If you want bigger you can always choose the 380 mm (15") GT2 brake upgrade. That's not caremic and is a bit cheaper. I think for the 380 mm you will need to upgrade to a 19" rim to get enough clearance (I think some 18's will fit also).
