Default Done for a reason......

In the absence or even existance of a brake equalizer valve they used the large wheel cylinder to get more force on the front wheels who do at least 60% of the braking.... but as Rob pointed out..... with out a heavy load in the rear to make greater demand on the front braking system you are probably alright.

Now if you have the booster brake system I would definitely stay with the larger front wheel cylinder..... this is a Trump recommendation not based on hard facts.

Cheers
