after the 10% larger KE30/70 discs, it's a "choose your own adventure"
you may want to look at different struts, and different stud pattern

well, ppl have used things like camira vented discs, but at around (i think) 243, they are not the biggest brakes in the world.
it depends what the car is for.
all you need are discs big enough to make the tyres lock,
and calipers that make the pedal effort bearable.
if you plan to race it or drive hard (street has to be worse than race as cooling is less), then you need to up the size for both heat sink and heat dissapation.
i would go with the largest discs that fit within your chosen rims.
a custom hub would make it really easy to fit any disc you wanted... the DBA4000's look nice
