Default Rear brake upgrade on 4rth gen vtec?

I need to know if there is any way to upgrade the rear brakes on my 93 vtec. I would love to put on AEM big rotors but they don't make a kit for my car. They do make a kit for the 97+ lude; is there a way I can take the braking surface from the rotor and bolt on a four bolt hat? How different are the 97+ calipers from the 93-96? Or is there any really great upgrade I can do there? If there is nothing, who makes the best rotor. Its stored in the winter so drilled is ok. I just want wicked quality.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

It's not needed.

Waste of money.

I didn't ask if it wasn't needed I asked if it was possible.
