DIY Spiroslot with JCW Brake Calliper?

I'm looking to upgrade the brakes on my 1st Gen Convertible S. The criteria I am looking to meet are:

1. Better braking in normal/fast road use;
2. I want to keep with OEM or preferably JCW calipers for the standard look;
3. Thinking about getting R95 18's so will be on display;
4. Want to fit myself if possible.

I've searched and read loads of threads and gather that the JCW brake kit isn't that much better than OEM and that gains are more to do with the pads and discs rather than callipers. So I was wondering if anybody had used GTT's Spiroslots and Kevlar pads with JCW callipers - or if this is even possible?

Also any other suggestions that meet my requirements...

Cheers all.

UPDATED: Spiroslot's don't fit JCW brakes. Getting Spiroslot brakes front and rear on Thursday :-)
