Default HELP...!! Brake / coilover settings

hey all...
just wondering whats the best in all your minds about which brake pads and dics, which look good and work equally the same, only need to update my standard gti brake pads and discs to something a little more "sporty" if you know what i mean... all your thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated

Also if anyone knows anywhere locally that can set coilovers would be a added bonus....

cheers, Fletch

Black Diamond discs and Mintex pads would be my choice on a std car
