Front brakes account for approx 60% of stopping power in most Any vehicle.
If you've ever gone over the handlebars of a bicycle you 'know' this as a lifelong lesson. Brake systems are designed with that weight shift bias in mind.
In what? way would fitting larger rear brakes help slow a vehicle, given their 40% contribution to stopping?
