New pads and fluid, possibly discs.
#10
I'd go for 5.1 fluid and braided hoses. I have no opinion on pads as personally I'd be going bigger (302s will fit under your wheels) but the mintex OEM stuff is very good.

There is lots of better dot 4 fluids out there but they aren't cheap. 5.1 gets you the same benefits for alot less, about £6 a bottle for the halfords stuff on trade.

5.1 fluid, braided hoses, 302s and peugeot OEM pads and discs didn't fade in my 2 hour rack time at FCS last year stopping what was almost certainly close to 1500kg of 2.1 estate when you include me and connor in it. The same set up was stopping tom 100mph in under 100 yards too.
