I forgot to chip-in with what I've currently got; although I am still running skinny tires so my needs aren't as extreme as yours. I simply swapped to 911SC "A" (steel) calipers and vented rotors up front, with a 19mm master cylinder, and moved the stock 914-4 front calipers to the rear. Braided lines, adjustable prop valve, and Pagid race pads.

That has worked fine with skinny DOT-R tires -- plus my car is very light at barely 2,000 lbs wet -- but I am planning to (or at least seriously considering) going to flares and at least 2" wider rubber in which case I will most likely do a Boxster caliper + Carrera rotor setup. I already have the Boxster caliper adapters and have heard good things about that setup.
