[QUOTE="aidilj, post: 499398, member: 20536"] All of the answers above are correct. This is simple physics where it is best to brake with the front wheels, when braking weight would shift to the front thus giving more traction on the front wheel. So better (bigger) brakes is put in front and would wear faster than the rear. Remember the olden days where cars would have drum brakes at the rear but disc at the front.. The opposite applies to when accelerating where weight would shift backwards, more traction at the rear wheels. That is why higher performance vehicle are rear wheel drive and have wider back wheels - to put all the power down properly.
