I just like this kit, because for 1,000 bucks i can get up to 13" rotors, 2 piece, and slotted, with decent pads, not bad imo, and if i didnt want 2 piece, i could at least get the kit with the 1 piece rotors (still 13"), pads and brackets for only $650...

We've noticed that the brakes in modern Hondas tend to wilt at the first sign of hard driving, yet the TL's brakes buck this trend. They haul the Acura to a halt from 60 mph in a scant 106 feet. This performance is matched by the G37, but the TL exhibits less brake fade than the Infiniti. Perhaps this marks the turning of a new leaf for future Honda offerings.

Well the Endless front kit is designed to work with either any of the Endless rear kits or either one of the rear OEM setups (Brembo/Non-Brembo). The Racing Brake rear kit is more a big rotor kit than it is a BBK since you are still using the same rear stock caliper, so therefore the bias has not changed.

If adding a rear bbk setup didn't change the bias (hopefully for the better), I'm not sure why it was done? Only for cosmetic reasons?

IMHO, if you use a bigger (than oem) rotor, that will change the force applied and therefore change the front/rear bias. Whether or not it changes it significantly more then let's say an oem rear Brembo setup is probably what you are getting at?

The question remains is how much would the rear bias be increasing? I really don't know the answer to this question currently but i'm sure if I sat down I would be able to calculate it since most of the other variables in the equation would be held constant.
As far as our reasoning it was for cosmetic reasons. The front BBK is more than adequate for the very few track days that this car sees.
