When upgrading the 5th gen front rotors and calipers with..

Legend rotors and calipers, will there be a significant unbalancing of the breaking ?

What I mean is, should I upgrade the rear calipers/rotors with something as well? If so, what? and where?

Thanks!

i did this upgrade on my 4th gen and i don't notice anything being unbalanced, i mean if you want to try adn find a brake upgrade for the rear then let us all know, but the majority of braking is done by the front brakes anyway

That's right. Upgrading rear brakes will not yield meaningful results in everyday driving. Upgrading rotors and calipers will help reduce brake fade. So, if you are planning on racing the car on a full track, go for it. If you are just going to do drag racing and/or everyday driving, just upgrade the front pads will be enough.
