Rear brembos for ~£250, set of new brembo discs with the liners fitted so my handbrake shoes are OK are £199 and then a good pad choice. Probably the easiest fix.

Not seen any decent condition 2 pots for that money mate, if you know of some then send me the link
Thing is, by the time i've got a refurb kit (it'll need new pistons for sure as well) and factored in a bit of labour, new discs, new pads etc and i'm up at £400 odd quid i expect. And it doesn't improve the rear and solve the balance problems I've got with 356mm 8 pots on the front and standard 2 pots on the rear.

Tbh, the car only does about 3000 miles a year (1000 of which is Germany) and the rest is going to club meets or trackdays.
As much as it pains me to say, its so much easier (and comfortable!) just to get in the Mondeo diesel for every other journey so the scoob hardly moves these days.....
I do like to use the scoob brakes fairly heavily, but found at Goodwood that i was locking the rear wheels on really heavy braking as the back end was going so light due to the balance problem. I'm sure having stiffer springs (or coilovers) on the car would help reduce the nose-dive a bit but its not on my radar at the moment....
I know i don't need to buy new ksports at the back, but it would look cool matching the front
