Where are you getting this 75% from??

A stock S13 (and most brake systems) have front bias built in. I doubt its that high though. As I mentioned in your other post, even if it is, this setup has been used numerous times. In fact, Nismo marketed this as their 'big brake upgrade'. I dont think you'll have any problems with this setup.

umm, other than using better pads in the rear, I dont know. Interestingly enough, I replaced my rear pads with axxis ultimates, because they were pretty much gone, but the fronts still have life, and I am locking up the rear wheels first. I even have 225s in back and 205 up front. Probably not a good setup to have, allthough it does make for some interesting brake drifting.

If it is a calculated... how did you get this, and is the value 75% dynamic or static?
