The GT-R setup is nice, but is still somewhat targeted at street use. Too blingy for my tastes.
Look at their Club Race setups. Those are legitimate race car brakes. Not cheap, but they ditch the showy paint jobs and other street-focused features in the name of maximum performance. You can also get those bridge cooling and disc pressurization setups.

If you haven't measured temps, how do you know you're keeping sufficient heat in them?
I have to wonder if you've got too much pad in there. Buy a set of the temperature decals and get the thermographic paint for the rotors. This would also help you see if you're boiling the fluid.
