Default St170 brake conversion (Help!)

Rite i was racing a rs2000 escort down a carriageway and i was doing some stupid speed.

When i hit the brakes it stated moving to the left and then it would pull back to the rite but i was not skidding.

I herd a bang from the drivers wheel and lots of smoke came from that side then the left side went the same.

I totally lost control at this point but i never crashed.

I moved the car to a safe place on the carriageway got out and the disks was glowing a solid red and brake pads had gone and the calipers was hanging.

My mates said when i brought the car there not st front brakes there standard 1.6 Uprate them.

Of course i never listened i drove the car and this happened. So what do i need to uprate the front brakes. And is it a straight forward job

Cheers
