I have done a little searching and have not found anything for brake upgrades for my car. I just got it and the brakes are the biggest let down so far. I have seen some kits that move front setup to the rear but those are for gen 2 cars. Anyone know the best route to go that doesn't cost 3 grand. I think for the time being I am just going to get new pads, rotors, and new brake fluid and hope that can hold me over till I can save some money.

Add new brake lines as well. I opted for stainless ones. The rest of my list is similar to yours.

This option is for GEN I cars as well.

Look here for some info

The front brakes remain unchanged. The rear brakes modified stock rear calipers. The piston in the rear caliper is resized to balance. The front and rear brakes work together now. The front tires longer smoke away.

Have you considered instaling a set of "Green" brake pads? Woodhouse installed a set on my '93 a few years ago. They are an improvement over the original pads. I don't know who manufactures them. I am sure that Woodhouse and others can provide them.
