Other than that, I personally don't think it is worth upgrading callipers etc. unless you are going on track.
+1 Braided hoses are good but I certainly would absolutely NOT recommend them for a road car.
1. They do have to have inspected regularly.
2. Less flexible they are more prone to braking off at the caliper joint
3. They are designed for track cars and to resist very nasty sharp debris impact. Not road use.

There is a reason why even top end Ferraris don't have them on their road cars.

Good fluid flush and good quality road pads normally does wonders. OEM disks for ///M are very good quality.
