One of the best brake up-grades for a regular 190E is going to the 300E brakes. Very low buck & efficient up-grade.
Find some good used calipers & have them powder-coated then reseal them. THEY are at least 40% larger than the original 1986 190E 2.3 brakes.
Use OE pads unless you are going racing or plan to do some "track events".

These brakes are standard on the 16V. OF course they use larger hubs, bearings, & steering knuckles but will bolt up to your car with-out doing that.
