Some countries require that you have good enough brakes if you upgrade your horsepower. I don't know the specifics though.

I know 77hp is the limit for front disks only. I have a 2270 type 4 that can put out up to 150 (now that I have a tangerine), so I would guess I need to have rears, too. I'm just wondering if there is a rule as to what *kind* of brakes they want given a particular amount of hp. Would I have to go all out and get vented, cross drilled brembos? Or would 914/aftermarket rears work okay?

I don't know. In germany the brakes are rated for horsepower. T.U.V. I belive is the regulating agency for vehicle certification.
