Regarding Rear Brake Upgrades (more)
I am researching to upgrade my brake system. I am thinking of getting the APR Level 3 brake kit (big reds) in the front. Since I want better braking on the streets (stop and go traffic of clogged highways) and want a some left over for driving schools. However I am cashed limited to 2200 and less and can't therefore get the Alcons (don't really need them anyway for my use). Anyway lets get to the point, I am wondering what is the best possible Rear Brake Upgrade ,(kits, plain rotor and pads upg, or not worth it for my uses).
Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated.

My setup
I have the big reds in the front and Zimmerman drilled with Mintex C-Tech pads in the rear. This setup (rear) has survived about 6 track days without any sign of trouble; thus, I would recommend it.
Just to say, the Mintex Redbox pads in the rear were fried after some track use. The C-Tech did fine.
