Actually it probably will scew up the bias. Yes brake systems are front biased. But using only the front system w/o the rear to MAINTAIN the same front/rear bias won't help things.

Making the front bias worse via using the front bbk will only make your brakes operate/feel worse.

But there are front bbks that are actually designed around the stock front/rear bias.

+1 for the Akebono kit. But do the front and rear.

On that wilwood kit you posted. The rotors are not the separate hat/rotor kit that they usually come with. A lot of times people will sell the wilwood caliper and provide a lot of their own brake lines, adapter pieces, rotors and pads to make the "kit" cheaper but it's not the same. Example, I know some of the original wilwood kits come with BLUE bolts to secure the caliper to the car...

The replacements may be generic and not have the same quality standard as the parts you get straight from wilwood.

Which would be better for track use, a 13" Wilwood BBK or the 14" Akebonos? More resistant to brake fade...

I've seen this kit in person and its actually not THAT bad. The only problem is that the rear brake dust guards need to be slightly modified and the brake rotors are NOT 2 piece.
