Due to cost and bang for the buck, thinking of getting the SS4 brakes for the rear and the 6P for the front. Do you think this combination would look hooky or not work correctly?

I can can get a new kit for $1200 which is the same coin as the C5 rear conversion.

That's not a problem at all... Were you originally going to do pro+ in the rear too?
6 piston front 4 piston rear is common on many setups.

I agree with Dale. Most of today's super cars don't even run massive rear set ups. It's not worth the weight or the mass since 70% of the breaking is handled by the front system. I have a Baer system on my car and love it. Great quality and awesome customer service.

I just spoke with Baer about this and it's fine. Just match the calipers and rotors. It's what most people run with the T4 front since there is no T4 rear.

Dale, that's right. I was looking at the 6p for the rear too, but it does look overkill and $1000 more. For what I'm doing, I don't think I need 14" 6 piston calipers on the back
