In the real world, 80% of your braking effort is on the fronts, so spending the bucks to do the rears is questionable.................
for straight line braking, but braking during slight turns and such, wouldn't using S at the front and non-s at the back unbalance the braking system? or would the ABS take care of this?
thanks in advance
