The StopTech front BBK can be installed alone with a rear kit added later with no issue. The front kits are designed with the stock rear brake system in mind while the rear kits match factory brake torque to maintain the bias dialed in by the front kit.
I was going to get the full front and rear trophy sport bbk. Does this apply for the trophy sports too? Thanks.
6 piston gives you a bigger caliper, marginally larger pad, more upfront cost, more expensive replacement rotors down the road. The 4 is more than up to just about anything you will toss at it

My bad guys, thanks for correcting me. I guess I was only partially on the right path. I guess I should have known Stop-Tech was smarter than that.

Under hard braking the *** end doesn't feel unstable from weight transfer?
Most cars are front biased from the factory which increases stability under braking as the front tires will begin to lock before the rear. Its a common misconception that a larger front kit will lead to an instability in the rear which is just not the case. As the fronts start to lock up, the rear tires have more traction by comparison, even with weight transfer factored in. The issue with stability comes more into play when the brakes are more rear biased. In this case the rear end will start to lock up 1st leading to snap oversteer which is only desirable if you are a rally driver or initiating drifts. On the street, snap oversteer just leads to bent up cars and flaming heaps of wreckage.
