I just had ED's power brake kit installed (vented disks, bigger callipers) I also upgrades the brake lines to the SS TUV hoses. I went with the yellowstuff pads both for the front and rear.
Since I was already doing work in the area I decided to go for ED's SS front lower arm support box kit.
All of this combined made a magnificent difference to the response and feel when braking. And no problems with overheating yet, as that was a problem before going on spaghetti-road road trips.
I highly recommend delores.eu power brake kit. It really made a positive difference in my case.
