Default Brake upgrade

Wonder if anyone can help, looking to upgrade my brakes, they are 260x24 vented disc and calipers from a standard sierra.

Am looking to keep the same size discs but would like to upgrade to a 4 pot calliper.

Does anybody know where I can get a kit from?

Thanks

Its sierra runing 15" alloys, but don't want to increase the size of the wheel.

As for budget I am looking for good value for money, but don't want to spend hundreds of Ł's

M16 calipers from AUSTIN PRINCESS!!
These are good but heavy and will fit straight on(99% sure), used as std upgrade for capris etc, so may be worth phoning some old capris repairers to confirm.
Failing that cossie (2wd) four pots fit straight on after tapping lug hole which is already correct size, but of course will need 283mm discs, the difference is massive in performance between the two set ups.
