They shouldn't make a whole lot of difference on the rear brake, since it
generally doesn't take that much power to skid a rear wheel. The front
brake is where superior braking power may be required... unless it's a
tandem. I used the self-energizing brakes on my tandem and found they
definitely improved braking power (but please note you need to take them
apart to clean & grease them from time to time; otherwise they'll work worse
than a normal brake).
