No disrespect dude, but I have an F reg Nissan Bluebird 1.8 automatic that has better brakes than my S2. better pedal feel, more response, easier to modulate brake pressure, better initial bite. The only reason my RS stops in a shorter distance than the Nissan is the tyres are two inches wider.

I think a lot of the problems with the S2 brakes are caused by the ABS system, from all accounts removing it completely gives a massive improvement in pedal feel and controlability.
