Normally I'd suggest to look for an import AE86 rear diff with the rear discs however seeing that you have a 4AGZE, I'd doubt if such a diff could handle the power and still last in the long run. Same goes for your T50 gearbox if you still have it.
I thought about a 4AGZE conversion but decided against it as a proper conversion would at least require an upgrade to a W55 supra gearbox, better driveline and a rear diff that would be unbreakable.
Sprinters are more of a handling car, not outright power down the quarter mile. If I was after that, I'd have gotten a S13 or S14 & just wound up the boost. 
I'd recommend look at making a suitable diff that can handle the power, perhaps a hilux diff (you'll still have rear drums though) or fabricating something else. I know of someone fitting a R31 Skyline diff however there is a SR20det going in front along with the S13 gearbox.
Even then, if your front pads are the ones which are wearing out first, it suggests you're having a braking bias problem?
Besides, drums offer better braking than discs. Perhaps you should consider ventilating your rear drums?
