Tell you what, stuck EBC Greens on and they don't half make a difference! Definitely recommend.

I found brembo max discs, and green stuff pads on the front very good, with the 288mm setup. Give them a bleed and fresh fluid too. Good as it will get without going bigger to the 312.

Look at the calipers, if there 280mm they will be made by lucas.

And why would you tell your insuance about you brakes?
