Actually you can change the bias by just changing the front setup. If you decrease the piston area in the front and keep the rears unchanged, that will shift the bias rearward. I guess in theory its cheaper to adjust bias by just changing the fronts, since you wouldn't have to replace any rear hardware. It's probably a cost-saving measure (if I had to guess). In addition, there is so little braking power applied at the rear that the stock setup is probably just fine to handle the load. 75/25 is a very poor distribution for a sports car, but unfortunately you really can't avoid that kind of distribution unless you go to a RWD/AWD platform.
