Break's? Get a Kit Kat. Brake's? Those go on a car.

Just teasing.

Brake's aren't really something to go cheap on, but check out the Stainless Steel Brake Corporation. They have front's and rears. They also have two sizes, one that would fit if you have 18" wheels, and one for smaller wheels.

Rear brake upgrades are usually all about show.

^^^i agree.
you probably already know that pretty much all the braking force is done with the front rotors. this is because it keeps the car going straight when braking if traction is lost. If the rear rotors/drums were doing all the work and the wheels lost traction, youre car would be sliding all over the place. Of course it also has to do with how the weight of the car is distributed during breaking. If you dont have rear discs and you want them, just get some stockers. If youve already got them, i would just stick with them. Thats just my opinion. unless you do want these brakes for show, then get them.
