That set-up is pretty good , all I would change is the fluid , change to dot 5.1 . You need to bleed the brakes often to get the very best out of them , I do it before every track day . Track pads such as Greenstuff are good even from cold , and have a heat resistant layer on them , making them excellent for normal road use and spirited driving .

Simple upgrades such as a set-up from a 320-24V are an easy bolt on , these originally used 15" wheels too , and also the discs from an Evo II , which are available from ebay .

Lightening the car helps enormously , to increase the brakes efficiency .

is dot5.1 really recommended for our cars??? i have seen on here that it doesnt suit our braking system; BMC etc.........

I think i am going to just put some fresh DOT4 in and see if that makes an improvement. No idea when it was last flushed.
