I'm not sure just how to express this, but if you improve the brake efficiency for the given pressure applied at the pedal, I would think that the automatic brake application/release that the ABS was calibrated for could be wildly out of spec with the new brakes.

All that being said, I'm more then willing to listen if there is info about this that I'm missing, or if there is a different rear brake configuration that can be fitted along with the improved front brakes, to enhance them to match!
jhodg5ck is correct. the transducers on the wheels only care about the speed in which the wheel is traveling in relation to the other wheels. They have no idea what kind of binders you have. They just tell the ABS unit to apply them!
