need new disc brakes

Im building a rx5.7 1983....the brakes are shot ...everything about them look every bit of the 25 years old that they are....originally this didn't bother me because I own a 1980 rx7 that has a 1985 rear end in it and I went to look at the brakes as if to swap them out but the disc's on the 1980 are smaller and warn.
Im doing a 350v8 swap into the 83 rx7
p.s. I tried to search for anything about brake upgrades and found nothing;I'm doing a 350v8 swap into the 83 rx7

So I need new brakes...full disc...I dont need drilled/slotted or whatever just disc's.
first off : how much am I looking at ?
and secondly :where?
thank you very much in advance

I'm pretty sure rockauto.com has everything else. I've dealt with them in the past, and they have been good to me.
