Scorp with power assist on all 4 brakes

One of the time honored discussion points with Scorpions is the bizarre and dangerous use of power assist only to the front brakes. Over the 5 years I've had my car, I've read several times about people just disconnecting the brake booster, or (better) running a bypass brake line. Others talk about installing a "big brake" kit up front (I don't understand that one - so the fronts can lock even sooner?).

It occurred to me that maybe the best solution would be to alter the brake lines such that the booster works on all 4 brakes, and include a cockpit-adjustable F/R bias valve. I'm no engineer, so perhaps that just isn't possible, but it seems to be what the factory should have offered from the beginning.

Has anyone done this?

Seems most vehicles with power assisted brakes have the 'boost' going to the master cylinder, providing the 'assist' to all four wheels...typically at a diagonal circuit pattern (one front and one opposite rear on each circuit).
