Back about 25 years ago, I stuck 300ZX calipers on my 240SX. Took it to the track and the rear end would step out every time I stepped on the brakes because the front caliper was much too large and no fluid was going to the back. Changing brake master cylinder, brake slave cylinder to 300zx fixed the bias issue.

I’m trying to imagine what it must’ve felt like driving it.
You’re correct. 99% of BBK buyers do not even understand the effect of putting different calipers with different piston sizes with different rotor sizes on braking performance. Bigger = better is what they all believe.
