Lee, AP do provide the additional rear disc as well as the caliper as a full set....I have it on mine. see below:

Fronts:



it about £4k all in (depends on where you buy it)

BUT I would agree that the AP kit is nowhere near as good quality as the ALCON kit that you have. and why the Alcon kit is much more $$.

also the rear AP grooved disc as part of the BBK is a one piece design (with the handbrake drum inside) where as the Alcon disc is a two piece design with the ali middle so it helps with better heat dissipation. plus the AP disc is the same size as the OEM but grooved, not drilled. the Alcon rear disc is a larger diameter.

all in all that Alcon kit is a superb piece of kit and worth every penny (and more!!)
