Um, no you don't ACTUALLY.

First off. Weight bias on the Ford Contour is 62/38 - F/R. Under braking this can go up to 75/25. So your inital assumption is flawed. The car shifts weight forward under braking - no denying that. Unless you drive everywhere in reverse.

Lets please drop this stupid topic that keeps coming up.


If you want better breaking. Get Todd to set yu up with some big front brakes and call it good. Sure you can upgrade the rears while you're at it, but the benefit there is purely aesthetic.

End of story.
