Performed the OEM non-brembo brake upgrade to 06 Z brakes

Same question. Any balance or proportioning issues? Can't imagine there would be, but I also doubt many people have done just the fronts. If so, post up!
I just wonder if it's worth doing the rears at all, since the size difference is small, same 1-piston setup, and most of the braking takes place up front.

You want to do both. Most of the braking IS up front but it's the bias ratio you want to balance. Too much front makes it easier to lock them up and nets you more front end dive.
I've experienced too much front bias when I put 13" rotors and Z32 calipers on my maxima. It would lock and dive pretty good. When I upgraded my rears (happens to be a simple bracket and larger rotor upgrade) the braking was MUCH flatter and it locked up much less.

This thread isn't really intented for brake bias. I'll state that Iv'e discussed this issue at depth already

I replaced my rotors and pads all around about a year and 20K miles ago and im starting to notice the vibration and signs of needing new front brakes. I have EBC slotted rotors with EBC red stuff pads right now..... im looking to do the upgrade to the 06 calipers and rotors and was just wondering if i upgrade the front rotors/calipers, do i Have to upgrade the Rear rotors/calipers?? or am i able to run the 06 13" rotors in the front and keep the stock 05X 11" rotors in the back??
thanks!!
thanks!!

im gonna run them with stock rear brakes...there are mixed opinions about it if u read the thread. when the rears need to be replaced im gonna upgrade them too
anyone have any suggestions for good blank rotors. I was thinking ebc or centric premium but i was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas or good sites to buy brakes
