C/D + Slotted + EBC Greens is what I have in the rear right now, but stock calipers. Could I add SS lines and be done back there?

absolutely........ then you will have the same rear set-up that I do...

FWIW, the SupraTT pistons are larger than the pistons on some of the other 4 pot calipers Ive seen. Im not sure how that helps/hurts when the piston presses the pad into the rotor. They are MUCH larger than the 6 pot calipers Ive seen.........Dex, if price is in any way an issue, Steve can get you the calipers, cd/slotted rotors, pads, and 4 SS lines out the door for right around $900.....
The ONLY negative I see about the SupraTT set-up is the weight versus the Brembo, Wilwood, AP racing, endless, etc..... They are no doubt the heaviest though.

Hey Dex look I'm posting stuff.
Here is the bottom line. The ABS only looks at whether the wheel is rotating or not rotating. It backs the pressure off of the non rotating wheel until we get spin again then ramps it back up. This happen very rapidly mind you.

Seat of the pants feel for me is that if I allow the ABS to engage with the AP brakes I'll stop in about the same distance as before. If I can modulate the brakes myself without engaging ABS I can stop quite a bit shorter now.
Still would never give them up for the improved brake feel and fade resistance.

Mr. J. I can concur with your statement. Most automotive applications don't come close to the sensitivities possible. ABS technology has been around for over 35 to 40 years, and the manufacturers must keep the costs affordable. I was generalizing how the system works.
