Grab a GH Scorp diff (complete with arms and handbrake cable) and then grab a set of rear calipers and rotors off a starion. They will bolt straight on.
The scorpion and starion rotors are the same diameter but the Starion rotors are vented..

While you are there, grab the starion front struts (complete with brakes, rotors, control arms etc..) and now you will have a set of larger and vented front brakes..

Cheers.

NOTE: GE had 13" rim's, upgrading the breaks you will have to go upto 14" rim's to clear the break setup of a GH or Starion.

this is basicly what is on my track car - except I use a H190 datson diff with welded on bracket to fit the staz rear calipers
the only bad thing these days is finding good cheap pads
I had been using Porterfeild carbon kevlars pads but they arn't a bargin

Note the staz brakes will fit under most aftermarket 13" mags - I have mine running under 13 x 7 minilights and although they run close there is clearance
