brake upgrade

[stubbsy]

im wanting to uprate my brakes as my current mk1 cab gti brakes are absolutely shocking.

which brakes would you recomend?? are the mk2 16v brakes any good and what parts do i need off the mk2, servo/master cylinder??
is it a big job (would i be able to do it myself) or do u recomend taking it to a garage???

As Dinx said - I have the 256mm Black Diamond/Predator/Braided hose set up on my mk1. There is still a spongy feel to it, but it will stop you a lot better than a standard set up. And it will eliminate the brake fade that scared the crap out of me several times.
The conversion was carried out by C&R Enterprises in Notts, and they look nice and meaty behind the 14" wheels.
Iy is possible to do it yourself, but obtaining the carriers was a job that even C&R found difficult.
