This may be better in the help forum. The cheapest upgrade will be 256mm disks/calipers/pads from an Astra GTE 16v/GSi/Cavalier GSi etc.

These can be picked up for around £60 or pay £150 for brand new uns.

They look like this

Is there any modification to the car needed to fit these on or do they just slot on where the old ones come off?
