Any size disc will fit with the right bracket made, 380mm if you wanted.

Most people go for 2wd Cosworth and a bracket kit from Mike Rainbird

Think Hispec motorsport do 300mm discs still retaining the standard calipers but these are a bit overkill. if you use your car for track you really need 4pots but i use mine on track and still have standard calipers with black diamond grooved 2wd cossie disks, mintex 1155 race spec pads braided hoses and dot 5 fluid. These from cold squeek and dont work so well soon as they get hot the car stops on its nose and not yet experianced any fade. for road use EBC redstuff offer the best compromise with good bite from cold and can handle very high temps, the very least you need on any car thats going to be driven fast is pads as in my experiance these make the most diffrence, i spent £110 on pads and £100 on the discs £66 for the brackets and £35 for the hoses

Hope to have been some help mate

Rob
