[QUOTE="SilverBullet, post: 499335, member: 11244"] just my 2 cents opinion: - When we brake, where does most of the force shifted due to the inertia? Forward (if u notice when u see a car brakes last minute when approaching a bump, the front part normally goes downwards and the rear tends to go upwards - "tercongek"), hence more braking force required on the front wheels (which explains why the front brake calipers & discs are much larger than the rear ones) - Where is the engine located? In front (for most both FWD and RWD cars). Hence, more weight at the front side, more load to the front wheels, more stopping power required. [/QUOTE]
