Default Brake upgrades?

Ok, been looking for answers and seems to be alot of different views on this so gonna ask once more.

Ive done a turbo transplant from my s2 erst to my xr3i cab. XR3i cab didnt have abs so now using turbo power (will be running no more than about 180bhp eventually) but using standard crap xr3i brakes.

Unfortuantely I only managed to remove one side of the rs turbo brakes before it was scrapped so as I got to buy the whole lot what is the cheapest but best option for a brake upgrade for the above power.

The choices i seem to have are:

1. 4x4 cossie calipers, 4x4 discs and 4x4 pads.
2. 4x4 cossie calipers, 2wd discs & 4x4 pads.
3. RS Turbo calipers, 2wd discs & rs turbo pads.
4. Mondeo v6 calipers, 2wd cossie discs & mondeo v6 pads.

Looking on ebay the cheapest option seems either 3 or 4 but im gutted i didnt remove the other rs turbo caliper before my old erst was scrapped.So prob looking for mondeo v6 calipers,v6 pads and 2wd cossie discs as these seem cheapest but best to do.

Also gonna fit some braided hoses too.

Anybody got any other ideas let me know.

If anybody has the above for sale for as cheap as poss please let me know.

Thanks
Mark D
