*n00b question alert* about how brakes work.

[Luke]

Ok, i apologize, im too impatient to look around the internet for an answer mainly because im downloading a movie. 56k sucks.

Anyways, my 240 doesn't have abs and im wondering does my brake pedal activate all 4 brakes or just the fronts and the ebrake is the rears? I know that on a grand prix i drove before which had abs, all 4 brakes were used. Thanks all

all 4 brakes are used, but the ones in front are stronger, b/c that's where you need more stopping power. abs doesn't have to do with activating all four brakes.

I thought so, thanks dude

Also as oyu brake much weight shifts to the front, where the majority of your weight is anyway.

That's why the front brakes are always made larger because they carry a bigger part of the braking load.

But yes the rears work too.
