Kenn, like others you make a valid point. My thought is to get both eventually if not at the same time. I can think of so many things I would like to add / improve about this car ( who can't? ). My dilemma is deciding which one to do first. I am currently leaning towards Billy's suggestion and getting just the front and keeping the stock brakes on the rear. If it is possible to add them later and use the stock axles I may lok at that option then.

I seem to recall that when braking, most of the work is done by the front brakes. Of course I am not certain of that. Maybe somebody can let me know?

yes about 70 ~80 percent depending upon the car,

If I had to prioritse, it would be

front brakes, then suspension, then rears, then anything else.

Yes, with our rear kit and re-drilled 5 lug rotors you can use your SE axles.
