Best brake upgrade that aren't cossie's or anything silly.
Don't wanna spend a load on brakes, just something better than standards. Want to keep standard callipers, so new discs.. any recomendations that aren't cossie's or ST's, FRS or anything that isn't silly.

Grooved discs (not to many grooves or you lose a lot of pad contact on the disc)
Mintex 1144 or Ferrodo DS2000 pads for fast road use
Mintex 1155 or Ferrodo DS2500 pads if you intend tracking it too
Also completley flush out all old brake fluid and put fresh fluid in (need 2 litres to do a complete system change)
Braided brake hoses for a firmer pedal

Syorme :I know you said you wanted to keep the calipers but what bout RS200 brakes fit straight on and aren't that much
As he said but with the words 'Escort RS2000'. Much better than any uprated pad/disc combo you can buy and cheaper too.
