You want something like 70% of your braking up front- what's he gonna do, put 8 calipers up front now?

well you can never have TOO much braking power. however, if you manage to pull this off somehow, and i doubt it, you will need a brake proportioning valve to compensate for the increased brakes out back.

Putting bigger brakes on is useless. If you can be driving then slam the brakes and lock of the wheels, you're fine. Its more about tires then it is about brakes.
