Personally I would look at .725 fronts and .625 rears,as you are using a peadl box you can adjust the front rear bias to suit.

There's a good guide here for exactly what you're wanting to do, the only issue being that it needs you to know the centre of gravity height, but an educated guess would give close enough results that it'd give you a decent starting point at least. That article comes from here, there's quite a few interesting and informative articles there about various braking related things. |

Fred Phun brake handbook gve me all the calculations I needed to calculate the master cylinder sizes. Quite easy to follow too but you do have to estimate a few values (C of G as per the other post).
