You don't need to replace them in pairs...just order, or have him order you a new/rebuilt one. Not a big deal.
The rears do so little, I don't think many people would see or notice an upgrade from a rear big brake kit....
If you are really a hardcore track rat, it might be something to consider, but the extra weight might make it a poor choice.
IMO do get a set of stainless steel brake lines...the rubber ones on the car are likely cracked and dry...

Thanx,
After few hours of reviewing I did see was worthless to upgrade so I ordered rebuilt ones from partsgeek. They were only $62 a pop plus core charge & $7.50 ship. Will see if was right move soon to come.
