The brakes of my Octavia are coming to the end of life. One rear disk is almost eaten up, one rear caliper is stuck, the front disks are warped and a front caliper has some mounting issue that causes it to make clanking noises when braking.

 

I just bought a set of new rims that show much more of what's behind the wheel compared to the old steelies and I'm planning on small performance upgrades in the near future. I have a very sporty driving style so I figured I shall upgrade the brakes as well since I have to replace everything anyway. I'm not entirely sure what kind of upgrade to do. Should I just buy better disks and pads, is it easy to upgrade to VRS calipers or should I maybe look for other aftermarket upgrades, maybe even look at other related models such as the Mk5/6 Golf or the Audi A3? Thoughts?

Swapping to 312mm brakes on the front is easy enough, as the calipers are identical you just need the bigger carriers to bolt them onto.

 

Make sure your wheels are big enough to fit over the discs though!
