That is somewhat true of stops 1, 2, and 3, but what about stops 4 and beyond? If the sizing is wrong it will cause one axle to do a higher percentage of the work leading to premature overheating, and fade. Additionally if the sizing is wrong the ABS will kick in on one axle long before it kicks in on another. This will increase the overall stopping distance required slightly.
