Do you really need that much rear brake? Have you actually done anything up front yet?

do you really need a car? can't you catch the bus?

I'm guessing that you haven't understood the question. Let me put it to you another way. When you finally do get your front caliper adapters and have 324mm rotors on the front, you probably won't need to increase the rear brake diameter at all to keep quite reasonable brake balance. It is quite possible that putting such large rotors on the rear will be slightly excessive even with the 324mm fronts. With standard fronts, it is plainly wrong to have such large brakes on the rear.
