are there any nissan OEM brakes that bolt on that are larger and work a bit better than stock S13 rear brakes? (i have Z32s upfront and totally love em...the rears just need a bit of sexin up right now)
Not really much option unless you go with drum rear.
It's really worth it to do Z32 on all corners (with Z32 M/C) - having Z32 only in front throws off your bias to an extreme degree, and you can delude yourself all you want, but it doesn't make you brake better.

I should know. My car has had that setup for YEARS, and it sucks.
I didn't figure it out until a few months before we left to come here, so I didn't have time to fix it, but it's high on my priority list of shit to do.

For what it's worth, my future plans are to space out my front calipers and run Z33 track rotors, and space out the rear Z32 calipers and run some HUGE (but secret for now) rear rotors.
