Re: brakes/rotors wear uneven front and rear

I understood that all cars get 60-75% of the braking from the front, unless modified (from what I understand a common modification for racing)

Hi All,

My experience is that I've replaced the front pads 4X as often as the rear
pads.  e.g. fronts about every 40K miles and the rears at about 160K whether
they needed it or not.  My car is an 81 5KT, FWD only.  I think this sort of
wear is normal for a front engine, front wheel drive car.

My .02.

Cheers!

81 5KT > 300K Miles
