If you change the front hubs to 16v ones you can then fit 280mm discs and callipers from a G60 or mk3. You should have discs on the rear, if not they are a straight forward conversion covered in the mk1 forum.

I think you can get a Wilwood 4 pot caliper setup that runs with 280mm x 22mm discs for about ?180 if you want even more brakes.

Make sure you change the master cylinder at the same time.
