Message	as far as I know ALL cars have larger front rotors because 70% of your stopping is done at the front wheels. This is becaus under deceleration, wieght transfers off of the rear tires and on to the front tires. If you had too much braking in the rear, you would lock up the tires. (try stopping with just the front brake on your bicycle and then just the rear. you'll see what I mean)

I stand corrected. Is the swept area actually... - aZinAZoo 10:31:28 06/25/01 Swept area less. Big to make room for parking brake (n/m) - Dpilati 11:03:00 06/25/01
