pushing the pedal halfway to get any decent braking?
sounds like you need to bleed the system man, my 280mm setup with braided hoses bites quite well straight away, i think they are plenty good enough for general use!

i havent read the whole thread so forgive me.
But you will never get four pots i dont think over 280mm disks under 15" bbs rims.
I have the G60 setup with black diamond drilled discs and predator pads.
next step would be braided hose's
Next maybe look at doing something with the brake servo.

A decent set of pads e.g Ferodo DS2500 and a full bleed should sort things out Alex. Upgrading discs does very little (on a set up such as this)so I wouldn't bother with grooved or drilled etc.
