RT - Also make sure that the RS rotors can fit within your 15" wheels without any fouling.

As for the rear disc idea I think that's not too advisable without a brake bias controller. Ask Jitu for his opinion, AFAIK he ran a rear disc setup on his car and was facing problems with rear brakes lockup due to a bias issue.

RS disc size is 312x25mm.

Personally I think a set of hotter pads should work wonders for your car. Here are a few options:
