update: I originally noted that it seemed that using the standard Carbotech XP10/8 combo with this BBK appeared to cause the anti-lock to kick in sooner, probably since Stoptech tuned this kit with better bias than OEM, and thus would probably be more effective with equal pads front and rear.

Well, just installed the Racing Brake rear BBK:

Just got a chance to drive the car around the block, and hit the brakes hard a few times... still with XP10/8, and the car seems to stop better, and anti-lock does not kick in so soon.

I like.

I know this is an old thread, but posting in case it's helpful for anyone.

I've found that with a BBK in front and oem rear, xp10 in the front and back is a better option than the usual xp10 front and xp8 rear.

yes. Having a front bias'd pad setup is preferable.

As you can see the Password JDM rotors weigh 13.4lbs, which is 0.5lbs lighter!!! than the ST Trophy rotors. hmm....
This is a good thing. You want more heat capacity in the rotor to prevent overheating and cracking.
