>I disagree, and wait for someone to correct me, but since the rear brakes only contribute about 40% of the stopping power in the first place, and the harder you are braking the less they contribute because of the forward transfer of weight, I would guess that there is little 
sense in increasing the swept area of the rear discs. Did I miss the point somewhere?

DK, if you did or not.  The above assumptions seem correct until one looks at (e.g.) Porsche rear brakes.  The 944 vented rear disks are almost twice the diameter of the Typ 89.  Most of the 944 Turbo had the same size and type 4-piston br. calipers front and rear.
