Just a thought but has anyone ever tried to fit the standard front Na6 brakes to the rear
I know the handbrake won't work but that dosn't matter in a race car
I am upgrading the front brakes and want to do something better on the back

When I had Fanta (NA6 race car of about 820kg) it had NA6 front (slotted) rotors on the back with Outlaw calipers (similar to willwood) using Willwood Q pads, with no handbrake.
It used NB8A front (slotted) disks with Willwood calipers and Willwood A pads on the front and a willwood balance adjuster in cabin. Braided (replacing rubber) brake lines and no booster.
As far as I know this is what Brian Anderson used when he raced Fanta very succesfully in Prod Sports.
I only used it for supersprinting (usually on slicks) so didn't have any heat problem as I didn't do long races, but the brake balance and stopping was excellent. It was a 1600 and did 1.09.25 around Wakefield Park on slicks and 1.10.0 on semi-slicks.
