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.

17/18 have cable parking brakes. The kits you referenced are for them. That's how I was able to install rear Alcons on my Gen 2.

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.
I believe that is a correct assessment. I have a 2023 PP37 and put the Alcon kit on my front and had all kinds of codes thrown that related to the EBB. After 4 attempts to fix the problem I reverted back to the stock rotors and calipers and haven't had any problems since. Sucks after I was assured the new brakes would work and spent 4K.

Phew, glad I waited on the Wilwood kit. I would not have been happy to drop that kind of cash only to be met with codes getting thrown.
