Default Brakes sorry all............

Hi all need a bit of advice have a 97 impreza type r it has standard single pot rear brakes on it has the bigger rear drums on... Is it really worth spending the extra on the 2 pot rear calipers new discs and the caliper spacer kit etc etc.
I have on the front 4 pot brembo calipers with 2 piece discs and good pagid pads...i still feel as if the brakes could be improved on..
I have looked into the ap brakes and also the brembo 6 pot ones from litchfield with the porsche badge on are these a bit more show....???
I use the car for track days and tends to be the only time it gets to be driven quickly..
Regards and thanks in advance.

I would leave the rear brakes.
Buy some Goodridge braided lines from ebay £56 delivered
And upgrade to dot 5.1 break fluid, you will notice a HUGE improvement for a very little amount.
This what i done, and the breaks are brillent, the braided lines are the best mod i have ever done on a car.
Just need a decent set of pads myself now cause they fade very fast!!
