The rear brakes don't do jack anyway.

When it comes right down to it, the rears account for about 20% of the stopping force. In short, they keep the rear stablized under stopping.

Too much rear brake and the car can become very unstable in a trail braking situation, re: unexpected snap oversteer.

There was someone on CF that was selling a rear brake kit that used the stock caliper to keep the e-brake and uses a Porsche caliper for stopping.

Short of all out road racing, I don't see the need or point, to be honest.

If I was going to spend the $$ on brakes, it would be in the front. Wilwood, Brembo, AP Racing... Sadly, Stoptech doesn't make brakes for the C4. At least they didn't when I checked last, but I suspect their C5 system could be retrofitted.
