How does the pedal feel now? What size are the existing calipers? What sizes are the new calipers available in? What size are your rear brakes?

4.80 to 5.06 isn't a huge difference and should be fine.
There is no way I would run the 4.80 in the back though. The 3.00 is the perfect rear caliper with the 5.06 front, I wouldn't change the area on that one.

Bp-10s will disappear fast on track but will be fine on the street. I would probably look at 20s for the front and 10s in back for a once a year track thing.
It really depends on how you drive on track and how brake intensive the track is and how big your rotors are as well.
