depends what you want to do. lots of original s13 brakes are pretty good, but upgrading to s14 or z32/r32 brakes is easy as you're already 5 stud. Really depends on your budget to be honest. I've seen people go to the effort of getting z32 brakes and realising that the limitation wasn't the brakes themselves but rather the handbrake cable. Cheapest route for you is to get new calipers. send off the old ones for a cheap refurb and sell them on to recoup some of the cash.
