Default upgrade to V8 brakes in 2007 Mustang V6?

I am wondering whether it would be worthwhile to upgrade the front brakes on my 07 V6 with a set of V8 take-offs. I looked for a while and couldn't find the brake specs for either one.

If I did this, would it mess up the front/rear brake pressure settings?

If so, is there an adjustment to make it right?

Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it!

I think it's a very worthwhile upgrade. You don't really need the "take off" set since they typically include the caliper which you don't need (they are the same on 4.0's or GT's). You just need the caliper brackets and the rotors, everything else is the same.
