Need help with brake upgrade options

Its come time for a brake upgrade on my 91 240sx. The stock rotors and pads are shot and the power is way to much for a stock braking system. This is what I was thinking but im having some issues with finding what I need in searches... I want to do the 300zx calipers since i can get them for a fairly cheap price. Im currently running a 4 lug 15" Enkei Racing wheel which i know will allow caliper clearance when it comes to caliper width. My problem is which rotor to go with and clearance issues. I was thinking a Project Mu rotor made for a late 80's model non turbo 300zx, which if i remember correctly came in 4 lug or so i remember seeing at the junkyard....i hope. i believe that particular rotor if im not mistaken came in 4 lug, is slightly bigger (by 1"), than the OEM 240 rotor. so with that in mind will a 300zx turbo caliper with a 300zx nonturbo rotor clear a 15" wheel if its at all possible?

anyone have any other brake upgrade options with atleast a 4 piston caliper that will clear 15" brakes with out going rotora, wilwood, or Brembo, as they are a little out of my price range for a kit.

ok so what should i do about an upgrade caliper? and clearance issues with
15" wheels? i dont want to spend an ungodly amount of money on a 4 piston caliper for just the front of my car, nor will the stock calipers do my cars power any justice as i've already figured out under hard braking situations.
i just got my wheels a week or two ago for a steal of a deal, plus i love them . since i've never seen them on another car i dont want to get rid of them. im just trying to see what options i have as far as upgrading the stock brake set up. i may go with redrilling 300zx rotors and giving that a shot. any other options?
