What rear brakes do you have now? The vented 5 lug rear brakes are about all any car needs or can use. They are so oversize from the factory they get standard organic pads while the front get semi-metallic at a minumum.

Corksport sells a rear brake upgrade now. It uses the 99 spec rear rotors and adapter brackets to mount the stock calipers to them. They are over an inch larger than stock.

Check them out on their website. http://www.corksport.com

Ditto.

If you just MUST have an upgraded rear, adapt the fronts to them (if possible).

You're going to **** up the brake bias just slapping on random brake calipers back there.
PLEASE check out the brake thread in the Suspension section...

The rear brakes aren't under a lot of stress compared to the fronts. Unless you're a hardcore track person you don't even need to do much to the fronts.
