I wouldn't plan on seeing a 4 wheel kit unless there is massive demand. The engineering effort may not be offset by the return at this juncture. I'm just trying to be realistic. I think you'd be happy with the front kit anyway.
Exceedingly sorry to hear that. Very disappointing. Even more disappointing than having to turn down legal aged twins who invited me to go on a vacation with them last year. I had to finish a project or go broke. Talk about loosing a woody.
It would be nice to purchase a complete kit designed to work together front/rear that is not astronomically priced. " So pull some strings."

Hahaha...Oh man...you guys crack me up. 80, I'm really sorry to hear about the twins. I did something like that once...I skipped Spring Break in the Florida Keys to do a job interview. I apparently missed out on some action on a 40 foot sailboat like what you described...possibly even better. However, I got the job, started a great career, and eventually landed at StopTech...woody resurrected! Some decisions like this do work out in the end. 
We'll see how this introduction goes, and work from there. 
Sincerely,
The String Puller

JIC uses our front only kit...http://www.stoptech.com/productphotos/rx-8/rx-8.htm There are lots of pics of the parts themselves on the website.
You're going to need a 17" wheel. Check out the wheel fitment guide here: http://www.stoptech.com/wheelfitchart/mazda.htm

Very good points, Clayne.
The Wilwood Superlite's use 13-inch rotors, fit the stock wheels and are available with the SS-lined pistons. The only negative I've heard about them is the fact that they lack dust seals, leading to more frequent rebuilds.
Now, aesthetically, I will agree that they are not in the same league....

Yes, Wilwoods need to be rebuilt more often - but if one can build a 4-wheel Wildwood kit that outbrakes the AP kit, reliably, and can take more abuse, who is the winner here?

My members @ http://www.my350z.com love these brakes as well.
This picture is for the 350Z, but it gives you a good idea of what is included in these kits.
