1.8 Front Brake Proportioning and Swap Question

Will my braking bias be screwed up if I only do the 1.8 brakes in the front? Is it even worth doing the rear ones?

I intend to use a FM brake proportioning kit eventually.

I put the 1.8 fronts on my car a few months ago (haven't gotten around to to putting them on the back yet) and have not noticed any bias issues yet. FWIW, I've only done a few hard stops from freeway speed so I don't know if this would be an issue in a track environment. YMMV
