Default Brake Advice Needed

I just test drove a LA Exotics roadster I'm thinking of buying, and the brakes were really terrible. It took all the leg force my 150 lbs. to generate to do a hard stop: no need for ABS here as there is no way that I could have locked up any wheel on dry pavement. If I buy, what do you recomend for improving stopping power. There is no room to add a power brake booster to the master cylinder, maybe not enough room to add a Ford Mustang Hydroboost device. The front brake disc are from a Mustang II and are all of 9.3" in diameter and need to be increased. I bet somebody makes a conversion kit for these cars with 11" rotors that would fit inside the 15" wheels, so with multipiston calipers do you think stopping power will be greatly increased?:
