I can tell you from experience that this was a kit pieced together without any thought for front/rear braking bias. My assend gets really light under heavy braking now.




this can be fixed with a brake proportion valve




But it's not feasible.

The car doesn't need bigger brakes unless you are tracking it. Good pads on SVT rotors should be fine for anybody. Good, clean fluid and SS hoses will make it a tight package.
