To wilwood or not to wilwood?

I've currently got 2.0 sierra vented discs on the front of my fury, now with track days planned and general road use would it be worth the £350 I'll have to pay rally design for a powerlite kit?
The rears are 240mm drums and seem to work just fine .
Opinions greatly appreciated before I shell out .

The top five things I think transformed my Stylus after the "honeymoon period" were:-
(in no particular order)

1. Setting the front end geometry up properly.
2. Front brakes - I went Hi-Spec (and have been happy so far)
2. Quick Steering Rack
3. LSD - Quaife ATB
4. Quality Boots - Toyo 888s

I started with solid disc escort brakes though...

Before you spend out on a caliper upgrade, you might be better off getting some decent brake pads - will be a lot cheaper at £40-50 for mintex or similar.
