Rear BBK, do I really need it ?

Hey guys,

Since we are on a winter break for track days, I was planning to do a full AP BBK upgrade. Fronts are given but as I understand rear 4 pistons are a little overkill and most people fit them to have a matching set and for looks. Please correct me If I am wrong.
I am sure they are better than stock setup. No question about that BUT seing new M cars even with ceramics running single piston rears made me think. Some race teams are even stating %75 percent of the stopping power is achieved with fronts and some say even more.

What are your opinions ?

P.S. I am running RS29's, SS Lines and SRF Liquid on stock setup atm.
