2.0l brakes would be enough mate just upgrade pads and disc's. As for the pedal traveling, you bled the brakes? new pads and disc's? Check the basic's then go from there

v6 and turbo brakes always have travel in the pedal, the 2.0 brakes will be much better

I never liked the 2L set up. They're not much better than GSi brakes IMO. If you're planning on tracking the car, why not invest in some 4 pots?

Turbo brakes i had on my old XE Corsa were fine, pedal travel was pretty much non existent.

2.0 set-up, will fade pretty quick on an XE with a hard enough track session.

Turbo brakes have a smaller piston so travel on the pedal is less than the V6 setup.
