Brakes are poor if you still have the standard brakes, but this only relates to speed, so if you do not plan to go fast anywhere, you'll be fine, if you want to use your new power, Premium brakes would be the minimum recommendation.

The only other thing that I would add is valve springs. Valave springs can begin to fail at any time from 240kw on. If you want safe power then I would suggest you get them done for piece of mind.
