I know its not needed and I'm sure Neb will agree its WAY overkill, but is there a BBK for the rear out there? I know FiveAXIS retrofitted the TRD BBK for the rear so everything was proportional in looks, but other than that I can't find anything.

Also, from everyone's experience, what's the best bang for the buck?

Actually, FiveAxis didn't use a TRD brake kit, it's a StopTech front kit (they made the original BBK for TRD) with a custom kit in the rear also utilizing StopTech components. There isn't a mass produced rear BBK for the tC, however, there are custom kits out there (such as one from FastBrakes.com that uses Wilwood components). Or another popular solution is to buy PowerSlot Plus rotors which gives you a larger surface area but uses the stock rear caliper.

Actually, FIVEaxis used the TRD brake kit (w/ StopTech parts) off of the 7th gen Celicas and custom fitted it to the rears.

That's what I thought. So it looks like StopTech is the way to go then. In know PTuning has bigger rotors that utilize the stock calipers. But if you went that route, you could just get bigger calipers and swap right?
