yer one whacky guy :P. Those Calipers are MUCH bigger than the stock (Maybe cause they are 4 piston.. /shrug.) And after mentioning that. The rotors are Large as well to accomodate the larger calipers.

rear calipers

Stoptech

rear calipers
Finding a rear kit will be difficult. Most of the braking effort is done on the front of the car which also where most of the heat is generated. Since the purpose of a big brake is to have more heat capacity and the rear brakes on vehicles are more than adequate, rear kits just aren't a necessary item.

See this link for more details

yeah i understand that stoptech, but i want a BBK for performance, and show. matching calipers look better IMO. I could always repaint my rear calipers to match the front, but i would perfer matching calipers all around (yes i know the rears would be smaller)

any info you could provide me on that would be very helpful. thank you

Getting a rear kit for aestheitic reasons is a very valid reason. The problem is that the market probably couldn't support such an expensive product.

Excuse my ignorance but would it work to buy two front brake kits and put one on the rear brakes? I'm sure there's something different but is it enough to necesitate different brakes altogether?

Think of brakes like suspension. Fronts are very different from the rear in the way they bolt on as well as many of their factors, like brake torque output. Brakes need to be balanced in order to work optimally. Most cars come from the factory with near perfect balance.

I'm sure that many of your questions can be answered.
