From: Mike Pittinaro <mechimike@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: IML: Brake Fluid Maintenance & Imperial Sedans Actually, its just the opposite. The front brakes, particularly in a car with front disc brakes, do 80-90% of the stopping. I have driven cars with both no front brakes and no rear brakes, and driving with no rears is almost imperceptible, while driving with no fronts is pretty hair raising!
I second this. I'm on only the rears currently, and driving like this requires extreme levels of care. By driving slowly, keeping to low-traffic roads, and keeping very large following distances, it can be done without being certain doom. It's still pretty darn unwise, though. The rears have a nasty habit of locking up easily too, especially on wet pavement.
