For best bang for your buck, I'd say get some new brembo blanks for all four corners (can be found at your nearest NAPA or perhaps other parts places), R&R the bearings and axle seals since you're right there, get some good pads (search the forums cause eveyone has their own opinion as to the best) and get some stainless steel braided lines.

From there you could install a hydroboost system, swap to 4-piston calipers, larger brakes, etc. Depends on how much coin you wanna spend and if you want flashy brakes.
