Spend some cash and get yourself at least a Cossie brake conversion on. The stock brakes really aren't up to much even with a disc and pad upgrade

If it's a quick fix while you sort some proper brakes just whack a set of pads on and go careful until you can sort some adequate stopping power

You get what you pay for mate and brakes is not an area to try and save a few quid
