It is undoubtedly overkill considering the way I drive (mostly commuting, with the occasional spirited drive up or down the coast and a track day here and there in future).

To be honest my reasons for upgrading the rears as much aesthetic as anything else. The rear discs just look embarrassingly small compared to the 312s so with the larger discs up back it looks more balanced. I'm sure there will be a small difference in performance as well which wont hurt, although no doubt most of the braking improvement I get out of this will be from the changes up front
