Big Brake Kit? Please help

[rghrdr18]

I have seen all around the "Big Brake Kits" where it only replaces the front kits. Sure there are replacement rear rotors to make the rotors match, but what about the calipers. I am going to go with the AEM Big Brake Kit, but I think it will be ugly to see the old stock calipers on the rear. I am probably not the only one out there that thinks this, hoepfully , but what can we do?

Is there a kit that replaces the front and rear rotors and front asnd rear calipers? Please help.

Has anyone replaced their stock brake set-up with an aftermarket one?

Your front brakes does most of the braking so it's more than enough, I have not seen any rear caliper upgrade. If you're just worrying about how it looks, just paint the calipers the same color as the kit and you'll be fine. Clean it while you have it out too.

no street car needs rear big brakes it is useless 80% of braking is done by the front wheels. The only reason i can say you need rear brakes is if your DSM was a full road race car

agreed, BUT, the reason i am doing mine is for looks. always looked silly to me with 12/13" up front and the tiny 10" in back. i am doing the aem (now power slot) rotor upgrade so they match better (11.75"f/11.5"r). wtf, the backs are only $300. however, i will use factory calipers (f/r) because my problem is with cracking rotors (front) from them not being able to disipate the heat from the ebc pads.
