Just get some decent pads. Mintex 1144's would be fine I'd imagine.

 

If you must upgrade then 307 Hdi.

wont you need longer hoses aswell?

Yes slightly, iirc you can use the 206 ones.

 

I must just add though, this is something i'd think long and hard about before bothering.

I've run both 206 gti calipers (266mm discs) and 306 gti6 calipers (283mm discs) and didn't/haven't used longer hoses, just standard 205 ones.
