s14 Brake Bias question?

I have a 95 s14 base model, my rear brakes are siezed, and i am now planning to upgrade ( just the rears to z32s ).

I went to redrill my z32 rotors to 4 lug, and the mechanic said i have to upgrade my fronts too because i will have a brake bias.

Now i had some idea that this would be the case from reading the forums, but is it a chance i should take? Because i have absolutely no rear brakes and the stopping distance is way more than i can always keep it.

Thanks for input.

is it just TOO MUCH to either:

a) install a rebuilt pair of OE rear calipers

b) install Z32 front AND rears + master cylinder



seriously, not that hard

It will throw your balance off. it'll be drivable, but not very stable under braking.

get like 300 bucks and do the fronts yay!

Ok thanks i just wanted to know if it would be drivable, i know in essence a brake bias would happen but i just wanted to be sure if i brake they would lock up instantly

No they won't lock up instantly, but pretty fast - yes.

You really should plan on getting the master cylinder and fronts SOON.
