Just think about it, when you brake, the rear wheels are going to have very little weight on them which means very little capability for friction which means they're easier to lock up than the fronts which would have to break much more traction to lock up.

Ever hear of wayne sutton's 180sx? It gets run in time attack and yet still has the stock rear calipers (not sure if stock rotor tho)

save some money and wind up with a more stable car; just do z32 rears or the altima rotor upgrade. I have the defsport wilwood kit up front on mine and the altima rotor upgrade out back and i'm very happy with the balance.

Hope that answers your question. Which btw seemed legitimate to me; i'm not sure what's up with the angry people...
