Default brakes for saph on a £500 budget?

i have a standard brake set up my 2wd saph at the moment, with 17" alloys on approx 420bhp , they are feeling a bit worse for wear, is there a decent set up, that are a straigh fitment and that wont break the bank, that i could get? is there other ford fittment brakes that will fit and improve my braking?

I'm on a tight budget at the minute, around £500, can i get anything decent or do i need some more £££ any suggestions guys?

cheers

Try the Hi-spec brakes advertised in Fast Fords - they're around 500 squid

sure i've seen previous posts slagging off hi- spec brakes before, either to do with fitment or after sales service, could have even been both? could be mistaken though, any more opinions on hi-spec or any other brake set ups?

Alternatively, you can use Torox brake discs and pads. That's about 250 quid. They work on your stock brake setup.
