   hello everyone
   
   
   
   
   im getting all the stuff i need for my 406 brembo set up and i was thinking
   will i be ok with just stranded back brakes?
   
   i dont want the back to try catch up with the front of the car and make me spin out if i brake when i go around a corner.
   
   
   
   thanks guys?

   It does not work like that. If any wheel brakes to much it will be the one looses traction first. What you are worrying about becomes more of an issue if you have to much rear bias. Just think about what happens if you pull the hand brake whilst turning.

   you dont have better braking as such. But your front brakes may apply braking quicker, affecting brake balance much the same as using different pads. Most likely you will have a more understeering car on the brakes.
