I did the G60 conversion and noticed no negative change in pedal
feel/travel, I haven't done the math but I an not too sure that the 2
smaller pucks of the G60 equal the displacement of the single puck G 54.
Though I convinced myself it feels better, sure stops better. I also found
no bias problems.

... Also, be aware that with the larger caliper bore area, your pedal
travel will increase noticeably with the stock master cylinder. With rubber
brake lines this may make your pedal feel quite mushy. Additionally, with
the fixed proportioning valve in the Q and different calipers, it is
possible to get the wrong brake bias front to rear with results ranging from
a subtle loss of braking power to a condition that could promote a spin.
I hope your shop is aware of these things and has taken them into account.
