Big Brake Kit - Rear set?

Hi there everyone,

Sometime down the road I would like to add a Big Brake Kit to my truck (2003 F150 - 18" Roush Rims) but all the research I have done points in one direction: there are no kits that have both front and back brakes included (disks, calipers, pads, etc.), all of them are front only.

Being the rider of a motorcycle, when I took the safety class before getting my license I was taught that even though you get the majority of your stopping power from your front brake, you stop faster if you use both front and rear. I think this would also apply to cars and 4 wheels in terms of having high quality brakes on both front and back sets of wheels.

Can anyone out there let me know 1) If there are any Big Brake Kits that do include a back set and I'm just missing them, 2) If so, who, and if not, 3) how would you suggest going about getting matching calipers, disks (etc.) for your back wheels? I mean let's face it, I want the great stopping power of a brake set like Brembo, but it's going to look a little dorky if I have these blazing red calipers saying Brembo on them and slotted disks up front, and then in the rear are the stock brakes....

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Ok - either I ask "tough questions" or no one likes me. This is my second post in a week (or so) and still no replies to either. Come on guys, I know someone out there must have some feedback?
