Default Smaller Front Brakes?

Here is a situation that has me scratching my bald head: A friend discovered that the builder that put his FFR together, put smaller disc brakes on the front than on the rear. The car is strictly for the street and is a very mild set up. The builder subsequently told him that that's the proper set up and then charged him a very handsome fee to put larger front brakes on the car. Then to add insult to injury, the car left the shop without the screw in studs tightened so that some stuck out considerable farther than others. I've seen cars strictly set up for drag racing having smaller front brakes than rears since the front tires are much smaller, but never anything else. Have I missed something or what?
