I had brembo 4 pots on my Pug 406 Coupe and it stopped on a six pence.  Are you talking caliper upgrades or just replacement discs?

Replacement pads and discs

I have brembo discs on the front of mine which are direct OEM replacement, it doesn't stop any better than factory imho, can't comment on the pads but a lot of members have Ferodo DS2000 pads and swear by them.
