Would you say these brakes are too aggressive for street use?, I only do an occasional track day maybe once per year.

Great question, I should have mentioned that before... when you use these brakes with a reasonably 'soft' pad like the mintex extreme that comes with the kit, they are PERFECTLY SUITED for the street... no joke, a lot less bite and jerkiness than I had with my stock brakes combined with hawk HP+ pads... having said that, you do not need these brakes for the street... I know you realize that... the benefit for you would be once per year and bragging rights in between events!

Only the front backing plates require modification correct? The rear rotors look like they are smaller than stock.

Yes, I believe only front backing plates require modification... I'll ask robert (redlinewins) to come in here and verify/comment

I believe rears provide more contact patch than stock... pads are bigger... I'll ask Josh to comment further on this one
