Speaking from personal experience, I think that the n/a (dont know whether '87 had better brakes than 85.5 and 86) has extremely capable brakes. The only situation in which i think turbo brakes may be a plus is on the track. Also, since most n/a cars lack ABS, putting bigger binders would result in massive lockups not only in the wet, but in the dry as well. I believe my wheel/tire setup is the perfect compliment to the n/a brake capabilities and shortcomings. So, if you want better stopping power, play around with some fatter wheel/tire (good tires though!) combos, you'll find that you can be a lot more flexible in your braking.
