Contact reyland or Zoo as they do brackets to suit FRS front discs, which are 324mm, cheapest way of doing it, they also supply the wider spacer needed to put between your caliper halves to suit wider disc which is 32mm ,and not 24mm.

Go to someone who sells Brembo discs ( http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ do them and do mail order) and ask for pt no. 09.5486.50 that is the Brembo part number for FRS discs and should cost you about Ł100 + vat, a set of brackets and spacers imo should be no more than Ł120-Ł150
