I don't really see the rear kit as an enticing value proposition compared to the front kit because the pads are listed as only slightly thicker than stock. I'd consider getting the rear kit to have a match to the front kit because I'm OCD like that but it seems the rear rotors have a different slot pattern than the fronts which would bug me. Can you clarify on the rotor setup or any way to get matching rotors if they are different?

Yes, regarding BBK fitment for stock wheels, what you wrote is correct.


The Sport Performance Rear 4 piston BBK is a huge value proposition because what we achieved is more heat capacity AND a big shift in rear bias which benefits braking performance tremendously. The rear pad wear rate is much less than fronts, so the thickness of the pads is plenty sufficient. You will find that the rear pads will still outlast the thick pads we use on our front BBK's, so this is a non-issue.


Next week we will have front rotors that match the Sport Performance kit rears. I will post pics of the new front rotor option that matches rears by next week.
