What do you mean by that? Don't convert?

No ... I meant if you don't have ABS then upgrade all four corners, not just the front ... or if you can't do all four corners then don't do it. If the front brakes are a lot more effective than the rears the problem is they will skid long before the rears actually do much braking at all - in effect you will have just two-wheel braking.
The effect is much less extreme if you have ABS - you just put the pedal to the floor and let the system modulate the braking effect at each corner.
