Even with the smaller pads in the rear? Definitely not questioning your expertise, but more or less trying to get an understanding of what you're saying, exactly.

Rear pad size doesn't change. Besides, pad size (within reason) really doesn't have a lot to do with overall brake torque, in fact increasing pad size down toward the center of the rotor (much like how the FSVT pad is larger than the later CSVT pad) will very slightly DECREASE brake torque due to the decrease in effective radius (eff. radius is the distance from the center of the rotor to the radial center of the pad)
Using my assumed piston sizes, my suspicions played out as accurate, but only barely.
