And if the car came into my shop for a PPI, I would tell the buyer to drop the price by the amount necessary to correct the problem, which is not small project.

As 80-85% of the car's braking effort in on the front brakes, you won't notice any difference.
JFP, i really appreciate all the insight and your expertiese on this. I might end up getting the bigger brakes for the front and leaving the rear base stock. I'll look more into it and see what i end up doing.
