Cool Brake upgrade advice please

I am fast approaching the need for new rotors and thought I might upgrade the brakes instead. Its only money right . . hurmph.

What is the thinking out there on a good alround set up that is a bit better than the standard 278mm Fronts & 260mm Rears? (Brand, size, $ if possible)

Now, I have been on this site for a year or so now and I know the top end is what Velociraptor has done. But as much as I like them, 355mm/6 pot fronts and 330mm/4 pot rears ain't going to happen on my car. . . . $ to high for this little minkey!

Besides, I'd crap myself if ever I had to jump on them for fear of the wheels and chassis stopping and the body ripping itself off and sliding up the road Fred Flintstone style.

Anyho, if you have upgraded recently I'd be interested in hearing the good, bad and ugly of your stoppers.

Cheers
