first thing to do is replace your pads.
mintex 1144 or ferodo DS2500's will make a huge difference, try that before wanting to swap calipers and the like

Capri 2.8 vented discs and fit spacers to widen the calipers.

Also check your brake pedal isn't sticking slightly -- make sure the pedal has a return spring and the fluid resevoir isn't over filleded.
