Message:	I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'Brake Bias' - Getting the front and back brakes to do the right amount of work in a modified system. Braking bias determines how much braking effort is carried out by the front wheels, versus the back wheels. Since weight transfers forwards when decelerating, it's normal to have the front brakes doing more of the work - that's why front brakes are generally bigger than the rear brakes. But if you make brake system modifications, it's quite possible to upset this front/rear bias - in fact, to end up with a completely incorrect brake bias.
