 think my current discs look so tiny in my 16 inch wheels. Also is there a
 rear disc brake retrofit? Any input greatly appreciated!

I don't know about front brake upgrades, but don't even bother with a rear
brake disc kit. No braking performance gains would be acheived, and your
vanagon would never be going fast enough to need rear disc brakes. All your
braking power is up front anyway.
