Quick question?!?!

How come companies never sell front and rear BBK as a package? All I have been seeing is fronts or rears. If there is a kit for front and rears can someone please point me to that right direction?

Much appreciated

Why would you want a bbk for the rear?

Well if I was going to do a BBK, I would do rears as well.
I'd hate to have nice big painted calipers in the front and stock calipers, and I guess OP is looking for that clean look too?

I don't autocross or take my car to the track (well, because there is none of that happening anymore where I live) so if I was to do a BBK, it would basically just be for the aesthetics and whatever street performance gains come from it, and it's an expensive upgrade just for looks, which is why it's not on my "must-mod" list. I'm broke

StopTech do a f/r kit but I have no idea what the point of a 345mm dia rear disc is. Also have no idea of the brake distribution with 355mm fronts. Probably would need 18 inch wheels to clear.

Project Mu has separate/matching front and rear kits but they aren't red :/

Companies don't make it for the rear because it is overkill. Stop-tech makes many different sizes for the front and you can pair their largest front BBK with their rear BBK.
Buddy Club also has a BBK for both the front and rear of the 86.
