Default AP brakes, how much better will they be?

Right then, I bought a complete set of AP racing 4-pot calipers with 325 mm dics.

The kit is complete with all the nessecary stuff like bells, braided steel lines and brackets by the way.

Now I haven't fitted them yet but I am rather curious just how good they will be?

I will be fitting them to my Volvo T5-R with I think 280 mm discs and those calipers with clamp from only side (no idea if they are actually one or two pistons).

So how much of a difference will it be?

Close to a modern car? Better?

The standard T5-R brakes are crap!

Can't wait to get them fitted but I first have to fit some new suspension components...bush totally worn out so when I brake the front wheel wants to travel forwards and backwards lol
