For Stoptech front BBK is the rear BBK required for a decent brake balance or some other threads suggested using differnt rear pads. This is for a NA1 would something like the RB oversized rotors or NA2 rotor conversion work as well with similar effect at a lower cost because the rear BBK w/ ebrake is a bit costly? Has any one used oversized rotors in the rear with stoptech BBK up front?
 
It depends on how you drive and what your need for the BBK is - even for fronts only. If it is for looks only and your driving is normal then it is fine.

If you are one that pushes the car and will be tracking (even occasionally), then with just the Stoptech fronts you will have excessive front brake bias which means the nose will dive. More aggressive rear brake pads may help a bit but still. Here is a table that gives you all the options:

Stoptech is the only BBK that has actually looked at the NSX brake bias and designed the front/rear caliper pistons with this in mind.
 
hey thanks for that chart it puts things in perspective
