Do both fronts lock evenly and does the car stay straight? Time to try harder pads up front and softer pads at the rear if you want to reduce that front lockup, otherwise stock brakes will restore the factory setup and balance. Having said that, a call to Race Technologies might solve the problem quicker, maybe there was a rear bias valve fitted with the kit and its seized or otherwise faulty, have you eyeballed the entire brake system? A rear bias valve could be tucked away out of sight above the gearbox somewhere. Got to get it fixed, great brakes are a big part of the Porsche experience.
I'm used to left foot braking in my old car to help it rotate, so I like having substantial rear brake. That being said I like all 4 wheels to lock if that going to happen at all and with this car it's very clearly just the fronts long before the rears come to the party. Time to look a little closer for a hidden bias valve.
