6speed Brembro's on front wheels only ??

6 speed manual , only has brombros on front wheels, how come not on the rears too? I would think the break system should be balanced. Seems like a cost cutting move....

Yes, it is.

However, unless you track your car, it is not really an issue.

Most cars front brakes have 80% of the braking power. So only fronts are really needed.

1sicklex is right,

The amount of difference with brembos in the rear isn't that great. Even aftermarket Big brake kits usually are for the fronts only.
