Wouldn't the more powerful brakes create an unpredicted behavior/handling compare to the OEM anticipated behavior, due to the big difference in brake power distribution between the Front and Rear breaks????
Yes. People that are thinking this is a simple swap are only looking for aesthetics or normal braking. They are not considering the systems engineering behind the total brake package. Do it at your own risk.
