Hi Loki!
The most effective (and cost effective) solution to far better braking on front end is to fit EBC Black Stuff Kevlar Pads.Miles better than any others.

Even cheaper than EBC Direct here!

Well for those interested,if you are looking for a cheap brake upgrade buy the EBC black stuff pads.
The difference is very noticeable.Theyre much sharpoer and braking distance is shortened .Combining these pads with the already good discs gives you more than enough stopping power.Im on my 2nd set.
