[Shotimes] Interesting Rear Brake Upgrade

According to what I have been led to believe, 80% of the stopping force is
on the front brakes.  I would think that adding larger rear rotors would not
help decrease the stopping distance at all.  In fact, I think that they
would be a problem to balance the front/rear bias to keep the rears from
loking up on a hard stop.
Besides... the parts look like they are made from cold rolled steel,
something that would not give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I would prefer having
a nice solid casting.

Found this on E-Bay. Has anyone upgraded their rear brakes with this option?
