how come most if not all big brake kits are only for the front????

if a custom braket is made would it be a good idea to even attempt to modify a big brake kit for the front to fit the rear??????

both ksport and d2 bbk look like they come from the same manufacture/outsource of parts ive been thinking about doing a ksport bbk front and rear set up to get something like this.....

other wise my front disc would have that curve slot in it and my rear would not, which i find kinda crappy.

what do you guys think.

opps forgot a pic of the slots on the bbk

pretty much the rear brakes dont need to be that heavy duty. Why add extra weight with larger brakes in the rear?

But for some reason bmws and porches have massive rear brakes. I think it has to do with there traction control system. Where they can control each wheels individual wheels stoping power.

Because they are RWD.
And most Porsches have the engine in the rear.
This totally changes required brake bias.......
