Thanks!
What Geronimo said

part of the discussion should be the wheel and tire used as the grip that the tires develop will always be the limiting factor is a single stop. More brake torque wants more tire grip. This comes from either stickier tires or wider, lower profile wheels & tires

For multiple stops it depends additioanlly on the thermal properties.

Honestly stock brakes are very good, cool them, use pads appropriate for the use, use fluid w/ higher temperature range, lighten the car, learn to use less brake

If more is needed a small + is to switch to 3.2 Carrera fronts.

After than it's a big jump to 930s,

I haven't seen an aftermarket version that fits 16s that I could recommend
