I need to overhaul my brakes on my BD Leg GT, so I'm using 04 legacy gt calipers and rotors in the front with EBC Yellowstuff pads. I want the same pads in the rear, but it looks like they don't make rear pads for the stock calipers. Is there a relatively common rear caliper I could find in a junkyard that would be able to use an EBC Yellowstuff pad?

..and will their be much of a brake bias issue if I use stock rear brakes with the upgraded stuff up front?

I suspect a D383 pad shape from a late 90s galant will fit in the stock brakes but have not been able to confirm it. I have seen the drawings for both pads and it's really close.

I have upgraded to newer and bigger brakes all around so I can't try it myself, but a cheap pad from a parts store might be worth trying out.

EBC should really update their own catalog to show this...
