ive just fitted my brake kit from TSR. cost around ?300 (275 i think) includes black diamon 270mm brakes, pagid pads, spacers.

hoses are about ?30 extra. has made a big improvement, expecially when braking hard at high speeds.

would reccommend it but i think the calipers need upgrading for full effect...
