   266mm or 283mm setup would be a brilliant upgrade for you mate.
   
   Get them from some folks on here who are selling them or have a look at a breakers yard for 306 s16's/some berlingo/partner vans etc.
   
   I have a 266mm setup on mine and they are mint.

   ive got gti6 and they are top quality, all standard pads and discs as well.
   
   you have a choice from
   
   gti 6
   xsara vts
   206 gti 180
   
   they are all 283mm set up, and will fit under 15's, they wont fit under 14s but i cant imagine you putting 14s on, they are your best bet. I know where abouts you can get them from as well and they will post them out to you
