Steve-
That's correct- the UFOs are only the front brakes.
Note that the rear brakes are larger than a 5ktq or 200q10v.
4-wheel UFOs would be really scary. Then I'd have to put
Porsche front and rear brakes on the car. :-)
If you need to replace the front brakes, consider BIRA System 2 UFO
for the replacement. Yes, it will cost about $1300 (IIRC), but
with much improved braking ability in terms of consistent stopping
power, resistance to fade, modulation and pedal feel. You also get
the really cool Porsche quick-change pad retainers, allowing you to
change pads w/o removing the caliper.
