Scirocco Register

Afternoon all,
I'm a newbie as of today, the reason being that I would appreciate any help whatsoever in upgrading the brakes on my MKII Scirocco GTII.
It's FSH from new and only 91k on the clock. I recently fitted a Brand new Weber carb and it has made a real difference. So much so that the brakes are worse than ever (not that they were that good to begin with). What I would like to do is upgrade the front discs to something much bigger/better but with the minimum of fuss. I would also like to upgrade the rears from drum brakes to disc. Can anyone advise on a similar solution here also? Is it simply a case of getting hold of the rear axle/stubs/etc from a MKII GTI 16v? I really would appreciate any good advice so that I can get started buying the parts and doing whats required to get the Scirocco to stop when I apply the brakes.
Cheers, Rob

It might be worth changing the brake fluid first, it often gets over looked, then check the adjusters and shoes on the rear drums it can make a big differnce to the braking. There might be a whole section on this on FAQ but I find the brakes work well if set up properly. If you are comparing the brakes to a modern car then they do feel crap, you soon get used to pressing the pedal a little harder. Or if like me, when I first set off in a modern mundane car I nearly throw the passenger throught the windscreen the first time I use the brakes.

I did exactly that when I first drove my MR2. Except replace "The Passenger" with "Myself".
