What are your thoughts on running just a 6 piston caliper on the front end of the car? (with lightweight rotors all around) Or should I just get the bbk all around? Working with a budget but I'd also rather do it the right way.
Of course my main choice are akebono for the front with a carbotech xp10 pad all around.
As far as geometry and performance with the combination what are your thoughts?
Thank you for your input. I am open to everyone's words.

First of all the akenobo sports brakes really aren't a BBK and they are not 6 piston in front, only 4 piston in front and 2 piston in rear. I really would not recommend running an aftermarket 6 piston BBK in front and base 370 rear calipers, maybe base sport akebono 2 pistol rear calipers would be okay but I would still recommend doing a complete 4 wheel kit if possible. Also, xp10 all around isn't the best, xp10 front and xp8 on sport or r-comps is a better combo to help avoid ice mode (you don't want too aggressive of a pad in the rear). for full slicks probably could go up to xp12 front. hope this helps some!
