Simple brake upgrade

Hi,

The current setup is stock Beetle front discs and late model drums in the rear.

I want to make a small upgrade, but don`t think I need any large Porsche brakes.

I have laying around a new set of Talbot front calipers - larger pistons

Also - in the rear I`m either going to use Type 3 late model drums - larger brake bands and drums, or perhaps 914 disc brakes? Any other options?

Is the 914 front brakes similar to the Beetle setup?

ps: do anyone know what parts CSP are using for their rear-brake setup?

The car is a 1970 1200, swing-axle.
