WTB: Mk2 Escort brake upgrade parts

Looking for a front brake replacement upgrade for 2.0 Escort.
Currently has std M16 type rotors, with vented disks, and 13" x 6 rims.
 
Maybe someone has upgraded to 15" and has surplus kit.
 
thanks

     happy to be have your thoughts Whools, as buggered if I know. As per other thread, parts list suggest disks are Mazda 323.(DBA930)
    I found a sticking caliper yesterday after putting the disks back on, and figured may as well look as better braking options at the same time
    . 
     
    I figured the calipers are Girlock, and M16 by the stamping?
     
    still haven't started it yet, but getting closer:

    sounds good.
    I have not separated the caliper shells, but they do have 4 thin shims on each of the 2 mounting bolts, between the mount bracket and caliper itself. I thought this was just to centre the caliper pads on the disk.
     
    Simplest way might be to put some new seals in and see how they go.
    I'll send a pm.
    thanks
