A standard 'big brake' upgrade is to keep the original calipers with bigger discs. The extra disc area gives you more cooling so the brakes run cooler, this is a lot cheaper than buying completely new brakes. Your fronts will be 240 or 250 mm, going up to 285mm will improve the braking massively (something like 50% more cooling). If you only do the fronts it will affect the brake balance slightly, on the V8S it was actually an improvement as the standard brakes had slightly too much rear bias.
Hope this helps,

I wouldn't upgrade the size of the discs without doing the pads, or you will just cook them even more quickly. the whole thing gets v expensive I put vented and grooved discs on, with fast road pads - seem to work well. Regards
