That right there is the concern; the brakes may not have ideal biasing since they were setup for a car with a ~70/30 brake split and closer to 60/40 weight distribution. I'm sure JRitt is giving the disclaimer as brake parts ARE among the more critical components where "following the rules" should be a priority.
