I'd like to know from anyone, some better upgrades which won't 'brake' the bank - see what I did there

Anyone got any links to show the various options from a reputable supplier? What size do I need to look for, anything to watch out for?

Any help appreciated and I'll also run a search in case I've missed the obvious.

Big money Sam,and arguably not worth the outlay unless you intend spending a lot of time on track.

In your position I'd go with upgraded brake hoses, either:

http://goodridge.brakes-hoses-fittin...-3-series.html

coupled with some Dot 5.1 or Dot 4.1 brake fluid.

More than sufficient in terms of better braking response,and considerably cheaper than a BBK.
