S13 Hubs on ae86 ??

I have a huge problem with this ^^^ suggestion !!!

Factory engineers build the OEM braking system with brakes calculated
to safely control the car under all intended usage conditions. So if it is a
fast sports car, it will have better brakes than a family runabout.

In general, the front brakes will be more powerful, to take account of
the "weight transfer" onto the front wheels during braking. The brakes
will be calculated to lock the fronts (ABS off) before the rears, as it is
considered that understeer is preferable to oversteer under lockup.

The front/rear braking bias is fundamental to safety and maximum
braking performance. Changing the bias by increasing the size of the
rear discs without making a proportionate increase in the front, will upset
the braking balance, cause premature rear wheel lockup, and make your
car unsafe.

And if you say... "I can fix that with an adjustable proportioning valve...",
then I would have to ask why you put the larger discs on the rear, as you
have just negated any possible gain !! Factory engineers are not idiots.
They have a responsibility to make safe cars. If you want better braking
because you have improved the performance of your car, do it properly.

Upgrade both front and rear by taking the brakes from a higher
performance version, or upgrade the fronts with correctly selected
components from a known supplier such as Wilwood.
