There is no need for larger rear brakes on a FWD car, even for serious track work or racing.
Take a look at the rear brakes of top FWD race cars to see what I mean.

I'll try to find a comparison front/rear brake pic from a 156 Supertourer (the rears are tiny).

Edit: only found a rear pic so far, still looking through my pics for more. But the fronts were as big as you fit inside a 19" rim.
