The reason I am asking is that I am planning to get my front kit done in Jan time and thought about doing the rear and wondered what was involved.

IMO stick with standard, they'll be fine !
Otherwise you'll need custom mounts made up so the caliper is in the right position on the standard disc.

Along time ago I had the 6 pot fronts, tried to get spares for them and Tar.ox GB were awful, took ages to even get pads, I canceled the order in the end and sold the calipers.
Thats just my own personal experince though

They would need customer carriers.
As said though, pointless as you will need to bias them off so far as you will just be locking the rear.

you would need the handbrake version aswell, they are not cheap and on a saxo its over kill, standard rear discs and pads are plenty. Upgraded rear pads on standard discs should see you with enough rear braking
