Default Hub, brake and suspension upgrades

Good news...got my Ronals shod today. Came home all excited ready to go.

Bad news..hub stud placement on my car is 4x100, Ronals are 4x108 so they don't fit. Car is currently sat on axle stands. However with every setback there is an opportunity so not to worry.

Opportunity: sort the brakes ans suspension whilst she is up on the stands and convert to a bigger hub.

Questions: will a later coupe hubs be a straight swap? and can anyone reccomend any good brake upgrade paths?. It would be good to try and bring the braking power up to modern(ish) standards. So ideas on caliper and drum sizes/types, pads and shoes and shockers greatly appreciated.

As the car is now off the ground then she is effectively in hibernation whilst I prepare the underside then sadly Coxy I won't be able to make the BC meet tomorrow and will have to withdraw from the Audi show in October. But hopefully soon she will be back on the road resplendant in her new high heels lol.

Pics to follow as I progress and if anyone in the Stockport area wants to bob along to offer some support and get their hands dirty you are more then welcome.
