With the piston sizes listed in the catalog and 355mm discs, you'll have a pretty decent frontward shift in brake bias. I'd go smaller than 355 if you could, or add a rear kit. But assuming you're running hoosiers, it may be an acceptable tradeoff to get the fade resistance you need.

It's only a concern if it does have significant deflection. I have history with the old 4 and 6 piston NASCAR intermediate Brembo calipers that had no bridge...The only problem we ever had was a clip failure one time where the pads flew out on a pit stop - same issue could happen with these Club Racing kits. I bet Hayworth might have some data on the old NASCAR intermediate calipers vs the new bridged versions. I have seen test data on their RC calipers, so it could be out there... Might not be 1:1 comparison with the Club Racing calipers but could be a rough way to gauge the importance.
Rear upgrade easily solves the balance problem. The two piston rears available in the Brembo catalog have the same mounting offsets as the production 2 pistons that are on the WRX Stis (28 mm) - choose your bore (36, 38, 40, and 42 mm). They are less than $300 each. And rotors are cheap! BTW, who builds a 'race car' without a bias adjuster?
EDIT: the rears are 500 each...
