right 16v hubs/wheelbearing housings, 16v brake carriers, 16v brake calipers (prob £30), 22mm master cylinder (buy a new one - £25), braided brake hoses all round (£50) and fast road pads e.g. ebc greenstuff (£30-50ish) and performance discs (£30-50) and dot 5.1 fluid

then your brakes will be well loads better than they are now! 

this is what im in the process of doing now!
