Why not by them from TSM.. By the time your done you won't save any money.
Your correct in the rotors won't be balanced (Not that I don't know if you
would really notice it or not) and it's so much easier to get everything at
the same time from the same source.. If something goes wrong.. guess what
it's
probably not your fault...
I got the whole kit in spring and LOVE it... Although you do need a
proportioning valve.
Using the stock setup the rears lock up before the front in heavy
braking....
(Not a good Idea!)
Anyway... Hope this helps...
