Don't forget you will need longer brake lines as well as bigger caliper carriers.
Don't worry too much about the rear - as most of the braking is done up front. this is also useful...

Hi will i need v70 brake lines as you said i will need longer lines and thanks
Easier just to buy goodridge stainless steel ones. Main issue with the changing the flexible lines is they can get rusted up over time and be nasty to undo. Please use plenty of penetrating oil (oo err)

If you can stretch to them - the DS2500 are a great pad (I use them all round). DS2000 are also extremely effective as a fast road pad.
HLM have both these and the brake lines. You may also wish to change your fluid to dot5 while you are doing this job as you will need to bleed the brakes anyway.
