If i can retrofit STI brakes that will cool better and have arguably more torque for $1500 for all 4 axles vs buying a $2000 set for just the front that will mess up the bias even more then i think i should do it. Or $4000+ for a full set of upgraded brakes. That's a crazy amount of money if I am not building a purpose built race car.

You get net less effective stopping power, because ABS engages anytime *one* wheel loses traction. When you unbalance the front/rear bias, you now enable one axle to do more work, causing the other axle to do less work, causing ABS to intervene earlier.
Stopping distances are hurt, as is ability to properly trail brake and load.
Remember, stopping distances are determined by tire grip, not by "how powerful" your brakes are or "how much torque/friction you have". By altering the bias, you increase the rate at which the two tires are overwhelmed, and decreas the rate at which the other two are overwhelmed.
