I know this is an old thread, but is there a simple way to explain why there are no BBK upgrades that can be installed on the rears for the gen3? Some vendors quote the electronic brake, but I believe late year gen2 had the electronic brake, and rear kits were still available.
There have been issues with front brake upgrades causing DTCs to set in the EBB due to the additional fluid volume of the larger multi-piston calipers. I suspect they may be encountering the same issues with the rear, in addition to the electric parking brake challenges.

Not Alcon, right?

FWIW, the Gen 3 brakes are much better than than Gen 2. When I first got it, it was like I was slamming on the brakes every time.

No idea on fade, but at least it no longer feels like your mashing a wet sponge.
