Check out Alfa Romeo brembos, I've been told they are the same as Porsche ones but cheaper.

Downside would be increased pedal travel. What about Volvo 240 4 pot calipers. There cheap to buy brand new and can be made to fit with stock discs. Or even cheaper would be vauxhall calipers. You can get adapter bolts for £10-15.

I really had the brake linkage, anyone moved the master cylinder over to the driverside? Looks a little tight

Yes someone did move the master cylinder over but didn't have the servo for lack of space. No idea who it was but looked awsomme.
Interestingly cars like the bmw mini has a vertical setup that sits in the plenum chamber that may be worth investigating
