Isn't xp10 in the rear a bit much?

Anyway, this is when we need member AP Chris to educate us. If the after market 6 pots exert the same amount of total piston pressure on the same diameter brake rotors as the OE unit,, I assume then bigger is better for heat absorption and dissipation. However, if total pressure is higher, then it may cause overly front heavy brake bias (understeer)?

I really would like to learn more too. The specifics are beyond my knowledge. I remember someone here that tracks often had AP fronts only (akebono rears, not base, however). Would like to hear about it.
