Default Upgrading rear brakes.

I want to upgrade my factory 03' touring "non brembo" brakes for the rear, but I don't want to spend a lot of money. I'm wondering what my options are as far as brake kits (perhaps the factory brembo kit upgrade would be nice), or I would consider just upgrading the size of the actual rotors themselves while still utilizing the stock calipers if that is possible, and replacing the pads as well.

I found a pair of rotors here at http://www.racingbrake.com/NISSAN_350Z_s/255.htm which are drilled and coated and are bigger than the base factory brakes. These rotors are 332x16mm as apposed to the stock 292x16mm rotors.

Anyone able to help me out?
Thanks,
Adam

Most people say unless you are tracking the rear brakes are just fine. I would stick with OEM size and just run a more aggressive pad compound with some nice stainless steel brake lines and good fluid.
