nice! how much power would one need to be making for there to be a need for a 2nd pair of calipers in the rear? Would these throw off the brake balance at all?

Does this kit allow the E-brake to remain functional?

Uh.. far as I can tell, the kit exists to use a set of front calipers on the rear, when using larger brakes up front. The original rear caliper is probably retained for e-brake use, not actually used as part of the pressure system.

The 2nd gen Vipers used a similar rear caliper. The 3rd and 4th gen cars use the same massive caliper as is on the front on the rear, and a separate brembo parking brake caliper.
