Criteria | Weighting | Front Wheels | Rear Wheels | All Wheels | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Stability/Traction | 1 | 0 | 0.75 | 1 | Rear Brakes are typically used to prevent lockup of wheels. They provide close to 40% of the overall braking force |
Durability/Life Span | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | Front Brakes tend to wear out quicker than rear brakes. With brakes in all wheels, force gets distrubuted does not wear so quickly |
Maintenance | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | With brakes in either only front/rear, all the load is going to them causing them to wear out faster. With brakes in all wheels, they may last longer, however there are more quantity of brakes you need to maintain |
Performance | 1 | 0.5 | 0 | 1 | Since the weight of a car transfer to the front wheels while braking, they would perform well to stop the car. However, if a car only has front brakes it would be far difficult to apply full pressure without slipping/locking out. |
Braking Distance without slipping/lockout | 1 | 0.5 | 0 | 1 | Braking distance with the most stability/traction will come from brake on all wheels. Front wheel brakes can provide a good brake force but increasing chances of slip, Rear brakes will have a significantly larger braking distance. |
Weight Added | 1 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 | More brakes = more weight |
Total | 1.5 | 1.25 | 4 |
