braking distribution?
#3
It's not the same for all performance cars... just look at how a performance BMW will sink under braking rather than pitch forward and dive like a scooby.
I found that Tarox sport japan rear discs and pads helped to redress the balance a little... the car sank a bit more and dived a bit less.

dunno what the scooby figures are but it can depend on a few things
1 obviously, what subaru set it at
2 weight distribution
3 what the pressure control valve is set at (or what the manual valve is set at - type RA?)
4 friction material spec relative to front axle - some cars have equal mu levels (generally french makes) but most have lower mu on rear to save pirouetting whe you touch the anchors on a corner etc
5 how much crud / corrosion is in the rear brakes and hence, whether they are working OK (seized etc)

This may seem like a dumb question but whats the percentage of braking force on the rear of an impreza. The reason i ask is none of the brake upgrades really concern themselves with the rear disks. I therefore presume that there wouldn't be any great benefit in doing so. If each wheel is independent then what is the maximum at the rear of the car?
