If you've found your driving has plateaued, one area you can make up the biggest ground in terms of improvement is in brakes. Be it better equipment or better technique, or learning to adjust your braking specifically to maximize the amount of braking done in the least amount of time.
And I agree with Mr. Kendall. Once you get up to about 9/10th in speed, the last 10th is all braking. It's the one thing that separates the men from boys in high performance driving.

Then if you're still chasing that last 10th of a second, I'd look into BBK.

Based on the OP's original question, I think he is not chasing the last 10th (no offense to the OP).
In my years of racing I don't know ONE person who runs BBK's, unless they have a heavily modified engine (i.e. 500 hp e46 m3). Everyone runs better brake pads for the track which will make the largest gain by far. The money saved can buy a lot to:
-change RWHP/ TQ (larger pullys, light weight clutch and flywheel)
-Os Geiken differential with a 4.10
-lighten the car (faster around corners and brakes better)
-suspension, wheels, and tires
-track pads
