Braking Question

very dumb question here, but does the front or the rear do most of the braking on a RWD car?

obviously on FWD and 4WD the rear does very little braking, but is it different for RWD cars?

still the front mate, unless you got the bias wrong and swap ends every time you drop anchor

The front will still do most of the braking. If the rears do too much the car wall want to swap ends on you. Scary and not nice

thought so as it was advised that rears that "outweigh" the front in terms of braking make the rear end a little "grabby" and may go round on u

I'm sure its 70% front and 30% rear braking bias on a 2WD saff.

If i am wrong someone will correct me
