I ran Stoptech BBK front w/ Stock STi Brembo rear, that combo would rip my face off under braking lol. But i do agree, I ran the BBK front with stock 04 wrx rear brakes. I had bad pedal feel, vibration, and early abs.

The Stoptechs BBK is fronts only and will work fine as far a bias is concerned with the stock rears.

Hit me up if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them if possible.
