Me too. You will burn through rear pads very quickly on the track, but if that doesn't bother you (they're cheap to replace) and the kit is set up with proper balance, a front only kit can be great.

Here's a good article on rear BBK's:

You really don't need the rear kit unless you track your car all the time. I know because I have one and it makes very little difference. I had the front BBK first and it was an awesome addition. The rear BBK added little braking feel only more ability to dissapate heat.

Not to my knowledge, but Jeff (JRitt) could give you more info. StopTech makes replacement rotors in the stock size, but not calipers. You would have to go with a 13" BBK to get Stoptech calipers, rotors, lines and pads.

They should clear the stock 17" wheels. However, you may want to get the specs from Jeff if you have different wheels.
