MY98 rear brake upgrade?

MY98 rear brake upgrade?
What are the options for upgrade on rear 1 pot brakes for this? Any better calipers available? Any recommendation on discs, pads?
i 've just upgraded to Godspeed Brembo kit on the front, and want some more stopping power for the rear, but don't want to change the brake bias too much.
Thanks
Keigo

TBH m8, it may not be worth your while doing.
I've Brembo/AP kit on the front & standard MY99 OE pads/calipers on the rears. I have never had any problem with this setup and this has been used extensively on trackdays, 2000+ miles with no problem. Set of pads generally lasts 3 track days, whereas fronts last 1 and a bit. Don't forget that most of your braking is done by the fronts and upgrading the rears may just unsettle the car.
Upgrade options are obviously different pads, STi twin-pot or I think some people have put WRX/STi twin-pots from the front on.

The 03 STI has 2 pot rears and larger discs as standard. The 2 pots are like rocking horse dung, but the discs arent. So, if I can get a pair of these discs, which I'm told by Ian Godney will fit the classic rear hubs, then it may be a goer!!
