I like the front rotors on the FD, but the rear ones don't look so good. Is it possible to have the same sized rotor and caliper as the front in the back?

I have read countless other posts about BBK, and 99rs brakes. I just thought this would be a good option if possible. Thanks

It's possible but useless. The rear brakes never contribute near as much as the fronts due to weight transfer.

The rotors are the same size front and rear!

The rears use single-piston calipers instead of 4-piston. There's only a few VERY expensive options out there for a 4-piston rear setup -- Brembo and Endless -- and why bother?

If you actually need to upgrade the rears, the Mazda 99+ RS/RZ rear brakes are perfect -- nearly an inch bigger rotors with OEM clearances and retention of parking brake. You will need larger front brakes to balance the braking, of course.

Thanks for the responses, I guess it's more of a cosemetic appearance that I am after. I understand that the front does more of the braking, I just don't like the look of the rear 1 pot caliper. So is it possible to use the 4 pot front caliper on the rear rotors? or will this create some dort of problem?

No, it is NOT possible. Like I said, you will have to go with a Brembo or Endless solution (or maybe piece together a Wilwood solution?) to have a 4-pot rear caliper. You are talking about spending well in excess of $2000 (unless you piece together a Wilwood solution)...just for cosmetics.
