Those of you with stoptechs, did you leave rear brakes stock?
Is there any WORTHWHILE reason to do any type of upgrade on the rear brakes if you move up to bigger front brakes? Aside from "it looks cooler" or "I have cash to blow"

All that stopping power in the front makes me wonder about the fore-aft balancing...
The front brakes do most of the work anyway, and with upgraded front brakes that would be even more so... Wonder if that screws up the bias any?

I think there is a proportioning valve in the system which sorts that out.
Not sure how the valve works or where it's located though. On stoptech's site, there are some tech articles that refer to proportioning valves.
