93-98 altima pads and 95-98 maxima rotors will be a good stock replacement for the fronts. I dont know 100% about the rears but i think all s13 rear disc brakes are the same size.

IMO go with a 300zx brake upgrade, its the best modification you can possibly do to a Silvia and really not much more then a full brake job for the front.

I have the Altima/maxima combo on the front with decent rotors and pads, and the rear is all new 240 stuff. Stops pretty good, definite improvement over stock. I am happy with it like that

Make sure to upgrade your brake master to a 300zx as well to get the pedal feel back
