1988 90 Brakes

Hello fellas

I have a 1988 Defender 90 which needs the brakes overhauling. I am happy to replace with new parts if not too expensive. Should I replace the front disks with standard disks callipers etc. or take the opportunity upgrade?? Would 110 brakes be better and would they fit. They seem to be cheaper on Paddock spares. Same for rear...is a disc upgrade expensive..worth it??

Cheers

Were the brakes okay? Originally? 

Do you do lots of towing heavy trailers? 

Do you drive a lot in the mountains?

If not, keep standard, easier to explain, insure, and if there's an accident, then it's not something you've to worry about.

Plus, easier to service in future, as all standard.

If you found the brakes poor when in standard form then that's different.

Thanks for replies

I don't tow with it so maybe standard will do. I use it for trialling with my local club. Sometimes driving through deep water and I feel this doesn't do the rear hub brakes any good as they stick on after a week or so of standing. Has anyone upgrades to rear discs?
