My first roadster was a CRII. Nice car, well built. Anyway, I used the simple brake set up as recommended by CR. Essentially what you have now - except I added a power booster. With the power booster, I could easily lock them up at anythiing under 45mph or so. I remember thinking I should have skipped the booster - didn't really need it.
Go back to the basics and make sure everything is as it should be:
- Fresh fluid all the way to the calipers.
- Resurface the rotors - use 120grit sanding disc in a drill motor
- Resurface the pads - sand lightly on a flat surface
- Clean and grease the caliper mounting pins.
- Make sure you have a manual brake pedal, and not power.
I think if you do all those things, your brakes will be fine.
