As an add, I got this reply from Stoptech: who read this thread from i link I sent and responded as follows

Our front kits, no matter the rotor size or piston count, are engineered to have the same output to work properly with the stock master cylinder and rear brakes to maintain optimal braking performance, ABS and chassis control system function. By machining all of our calipers in-house, we are able to offer a thousands of piston size combinations (26mm to 44mm in 2mm increments) to allow for the correct brake balance, no matter the application. Our rear brake kits with match OEM output as to not upset the optimized balance provided by the front kit.

Our painted and Sport Trophy calipers include high temperature resistant silicone dust boots to allow for track usage without excessive rebuild intervals and reduced maintenance on street driven vehicles. Replacement dust boot and seal kits sell for $50 per caliper on 4 piston front calipers, $25 per caliper on 2 piston calipers used on the rear.


This essentially suggests that there isnt as big an increase in torque on the bigger BBK, but just a greater thermal capacity, that its pretty toned down even on their bigger BBK, which may not be the case with all vendors.
