Hard bushings will shake parts off of both you and your car in regular street use. Tie rods and shocks (good ones- I prefer Bilstien but Konis may be better) are mega-important to good stopping, as is a lowered ride hieght. There was a good article in Panorama several months ago about braking that pretty much concluded with "the best braking improvement is from lowering the CG". It was a really technical article, discussing pad sizes, heat dissipation rates, and the energy transfer process involved. Generally, Porsche brakes are already pretty optimum for the design loading, which includes a pretty hefty safety-factor. Of course, when you put in a Raby motor and 240 tires, things might be a littler stressed...
