if brake bias is such a concern...then why does honda have a vented rotor that is larger in the front as compared to a non-vented rotor that is smaller in the rear??? I have used Baer and SSBC BBKs on previous vehicles primarily sport trucks and suvs. Both have been equipped with a 6 piston racing style caliper in the front and in the rear a 2 piston caliper. both front and rear had drilled/slotted rotors on them and of course the front were larger. Each vehicle topped in close to 7000 lbs almost double that of a civic. just looking at the numbers one would think that brake bias is inevitable...but alas it was not. both had non-adjustable propotioning valves/ master clinders. and both were equipped w/ 4 wheel ABS. along w/ aftermarket wheels /tires. i never had a problem w/ brake bias on either vehicle due to larger front brake set ups or front biased braking. there were a few times in each vehicle in which upgrading to a BBK paid off. save my ass from rear ending a couple of f'n sh*&y so cal drivers. if anything the front will always work harder than the rears no matter what. when brakes are appplied weight is transferred unequally front and rear. it only makes sense to have a solid front brake set up along w/ a suitable rar deal in my opinion...
