Can anyone suggest a brake upgrade that will not brake the bank, (pun intended) I was thinking maybe uprated callipers, but I am open to suggestions, I just want a bit better performance out of them.

I,ve got a pair of Mazda RX7 turbo 4 pot calipers I might sell. Normally these are used with 280mm discs.

It really depends what your idea of break the bank is? If it's 3K on AP's then you've got decent options well well below that. . . WMS/Wilwood 4 pot kits at around £600 + fitting or DIY, or a lot of people are happy with EBC redstuff all around and ATE super blue brake fluid.
If you're going to retain your calipers, it's worth dismantling all 4 of them, polishing and copper greasing the sliding pins, plus polishing the pistons if they're corroded or dirty etc. . .
