Comes down to balance from front to rear,the donor weighs possibly three times the weight of the roadster so its pro rata in braking force and it will be overbraked so you may need a reducer in the rear or the dreaded balance bar.
The race car I have built has a twin cylinder balance bar setup and is proving to be a pain at the moment to setup but hopefully wednesday will sort it at the track.

Once you have it all up and running find a friendly MOT station with ATL and you will get some idea of the forces involved.

ATL will weigh axles and give brake force in kilo's and some idea of split front to rear.
