brembo groupe n discs and ferodo ds2500 pads + goodridge s/s braided break lines seams to be the general consensus speak to fred i think he does them as a package.

Totally agree with the above but replace fluid with Silkolene Pro race 2000 or other brand name upgrade.

Discs - Brembo group N or std discs - GFS £65 front
Pads - DS2500 - Tweeks £85 front
Lines - Goodridge - Tweeks £65 all
Fluid - Silkolene pro race 2000 fluid - Tweek £20

Full set-up for the front - £235 and will give the best solution for the money, you will be impressed over standard.

Check with Andy GDI to see how he is getting on with his galfer kit. Bit more expensive than the brembo/ds2500 setup but it might be worth the extra ££

The goodridge lines can be had for a bit cheaper too.

Agree with EVOgone and Omar, I have the Brembo discs and the DS2500 but tbh you might not need the lines if you have decent fluid in there. Mine are still sitting in the cupboard at home (I'm being lazy I guess).

No need going drilled/grooved imo. This setup has more than enough stopping power...especially in this weather at the moment.

i went for power slot discs and pagid fast road pads allround from BB, can't remember exact price but it was around £400.

very good brakes.
