Someone finally did this, congrats!
I may be interested. Hate the looks of the stock rears.
The big question now is. Would the stock brake master cylinder, handle this setup?

another thing to consider is, there is a reason car companys put smaller brakes on the rear of the car, because when braking hard alot of weight gets put on the front of the car, and alot of load on the front. hence less needed brake force on the rear. now that you have rather large brakes on the rear if you get on the brakes hard i wonder if the rear brakes will lock up before the front causing the effect of ripping the e brake. because alot less load on the rear tires and excess clamoing force will cause them to lock up easier, just a thought to consider. its a really cool idea if this is not the case though. good thinking very interesting

As you might have noticed from reading whole thread, i run 330x30 rotors in front with large Brembo calipers. I am not afraid of rears being stronger than that. And i installed adjustable brake bias valve to reduce rear brake force if necessary. And brake pads in front at this moment are more aggresive than in rear. Of course, finding proper balance will take some time, but its solveable.
