I'm definitely will be upgrading to the sports package brakes at somepoint in the future. Will be part of my process for getting the Z track ready. Are the rear brakes necessary to upgrade, or will just upgrading the fronts be OK?

I would do all four. especially if your gonna track the car. You will be putting extra strain on your fronts if you dont match the rear. Plus I would imagine a smaller back brake will cause more weight forced to the front when breaking into a turn and will slow you down. (just thinking of the physics of it)

Very true. It just cost twice as much to do front and rear, but I guess I have to pay to play.
