Message purposes, although upgrading the rear brakes (which not many people do) is very wise to do. The problem that I think you are missing, is that when you upgrade the fronts without adjusting the bias or the brake master cylinder, you preferentially make the fronts do more work because they are more grabby, making the ABS kick in for the fronts and not the rears. Most kits are like this, so without upgrading the rears, you aren't getting the full potential of a good brake kit. Look at Porsche kits: ALL FOUR WHEELS. I've seen Porsche 993 kits on BMW's, Porsche 911's, Datsun 240Z's. Look at the Brembo kit for the 350Z, GTII, Ferrari, AGAIN, ALL FOUR WHEELS. I know this is what you were asking for, so I think you are headed in the right direction. Since x-drilling AND slotted doesn't increase performance AT ALL (source: Stoptech GM, and observation of Brembo kits on a LOT of cars), you may not find the combination and, if you do, it probably won't be from a reputable manufacturer. Choose one look, IMHO, and get a GOOD set of brakes.

Good luck, and get your wallet out...
