Re: [DML] Re: Brakes broke..

Wait a second - the rear ones locked up before the front ones ?

I always thought due to the waight distribution our cars originally had more brake power on the back - 37% front, 63% rear. Or am I wrong ?

So the SAAB 50/50 would mean the front ones should lock up earlier ?!?
