   Im looking to upgrade my front brake setup. I currently have grooved discs f+r which i dont know of make as were on car when bought and greenstuff pad f+r. I was thinking 266 with grooved discs and some good pads. I wouldnt mind 283 like gti180 but are abit more expensive. What discs and pads should i go for as am abit of a budget atm with spending loads on a vts conversion and could do with the extra stopping power. 1 of the front discs have worn down past the grooves so need new ones anyway. I could probs get the calipers cheap from local scrappy. Would braided hoses be better too or not worth it??
