4th gen 2.0 brakes upgrade?

I've been reading loads on upgrading 5th gen brakes to Atr set ups and such like... However it's the brakes on my 2.0 4th I'd like to upgrade. They are rubbish. The discs are 260 so much smaller. Is there an upgrade route to the 2.2 brake setup? I don't need to go to ATR set up, I'd be happy with the 282 prelude setup.

Yes the 282mm discs, calipers and carriers from a 2.2 vtec will fit straight on.

I have front calipers and carriers for £50 delivered if you need some? :)

I finally got round to fitting the 282 discs and calipers to the 2.0 (I traded BB4's in for recons in the end).. I haven't fully tested them as she's not MOT'd yet but given the state of the brakes that came off her I reckon there is going to be a marked improvement!
