    Best 280mm front discs and pads?

    Well my car is needing new discs and pads on the front, i'm really wanting to keep the 280mm set up as i've only got 16" alloys. Whats the best setup for this size of brake? Also if it's possible would I be able to go with bigger calipers even though i've got 16" alloys?
