It never felt like the rear wanted to swap on me and the car does not nose dive.

Don't fotget that my fronts are RB's 2 piece which are 2mm thicker than stock with directional cooling vanes.

Since not having an infrared temp sensor, I was unable to compare fronts to rear temperatures, but both have about the same bluing from 120mph stopping.

The 1999 Fd brakes are almost identical to what I have now.
A friend has such a temp gauge and I plan to test with hime some day.

While I am replacing my diff to chassis bushings, I took this picture of the rears.

This summer I replace the RB OEM fronts with their big brake kit.

^ How do you like them?

I'm torn between the BBK front/back kit from RB and the RB rear with the new wilwood front BBK. The wilwoods use pretty much the same technology, but they are 6-piston and about a grand cheaper when bought from Illicit Performance (Glenn aka mazpower on here and 7club)

That looks great Chuck.

I am using the ET700 pads front and rear and love them for aggressive street driving. They have good initial cold (winter) friction and can take a lot of heat. No problems at all at DGRR 2011 with them.

My new Advan AD08s in 255/40-17 also help a lot!
