So you are correct you can get better rear brakes but do you need them?

The standard SS comes with 4 piston Brembos all around. The 1LE runs the same brakes except they are painted Red. Fact is the rear rotor is larger diameter than the fronts on the SS. There must be something to rear brakes...
The ZL1 uses the same rear brakes but steps up to 6 piston fronts. Front rotor is larger diameter in this case.
The detriment of the weight shift from over dependence on the front brakes is real and shouldn't be discarded.
