Default Brakes any thoughts gentleman

I'm relatively new to high performance chaps I've got a hawkeye sti in blue prodrive. The brakes and tyres are destroyed. It's my daily driver but a weekend toy also I've decided on Michelin pilot sport 3 tyres but still open for advice if I'm going to make a mistake but what I really need to know is what brake discs and pad should I buy? At the moment I've got yellow stuff pads and some random looking discs not drilled or vented so they've been munched. I've been told to stay away from red stuff as my car is now running 350 bhp so can anybody help I'm happy to pay up £600

For brake info there are 3 usual suspects on here (in no specific order)

Ian @ Godspeed Brakes
Alyn@ AS Performance
Bob @ Aztec Performance

They are more than willing to talk you about your specific needs (normally as they've used what they sell).

Ask either of the top two for advice, and discuss driving style.

Godspeed are doing AP 6pots, discs and pads for £1200, you'd get £350 for your brembo's, if your that hard on brakes it'll be worth upgrading to a high quality set up. and only a couple hundred extra when all done.
