For that sort of money, you could probably get some slotted rotors and ok pads.
If you can stretch a bit more, FTG Auto Salvage have a front brake upgrade kit for around a few hundred more - Territory slotted rotors, Territory calipers.

Or as private 9 suggested, a set of the very large territory discs and callipers and pads is a great upgrade, but you need to run 17" wheels minimum. IIRC, the AU2 discs are around 287mm on the front, and the territory's are more like 310 or 320mm - so quite a lot more disc/pad surface to assist in stopping duties.
