knocking it into neutral approaching a R/A and slamming on!
my standard brakes were crap on my R, got 305's now, had them for a few months and they have been fine.

stop fairly well from 150mph (on my personal runway )

305's??

No matter how big your disc's are you wont benefit from any upgrades unless you use descent pads (All EBC pads are sh1te).

Reading your statement "knocking it into neutral approaching a R/A and slamming on!" I would suggest you use your gearbox to slow you down by going through the gears.This will benefit your braking ability much more.
