Hey there!
I would personally recommend not bothering with a rear disc conversion, it wouldn't be noticeable enough for the money you'll spend. Instead maybe look into upgrading your front discs and calipers and get a bigger booster.
But if you did still want to go through with it you'll have to replace the rear axles, hand brake cables as well as the discs and calipers. You could go with something like this -

Also, pretty exciting you have a carp in your car! Hope you're keeping it in water!

Go for 256 discs on the front. You can get Caliper carriers to fit from old Audis, look on the German bay or buy new Chinese carriers that fit from USA. Improves braking greatly and allows you to stop in time when driving on the motorway at speed. If you changing get steel braided hoses.
