Wait. When you press the brake pedal, there's no braking applied to the rear wheels?

So both my rear and front brakepads get completely annihilated every 5k miles because there is no pressure applied on them right?

For the gullibles in this thread, braking power is applied to all 4 wheels, but not evenly.

sounds more like you keep resting your foot on the pedal

no that's a racing setup with rear brakes.

...

Yes, and?

if so, then why doesn't my car flip over on hard breakage?

>this easy to troll my dear aut/o/bots
To prove that pressing the brake pedal engages the rear brakes, simply take one of your rear wheels off and have a friend sit in your car and apply the brakes as you watch what happens

Extra fun when you have rear drums :^)

Also just to be clear don't do this if you have rear drums I was just kidding

Are brakes applied to the spare?

>implying normies know how to remove their drum causing the wheel cylinder to pop

>implying i didn't do this by accident
drum comes of trivially, you can just pull it out

truly I am an embarrassment to man kind

>car front brakes are a pedal
>rear brakes is a lever

>motorbike front brakes is a level
>read brakes is a pedal
really activates my almonds.

>Are brakes applied to the spare?
depends on if the car has the optional sparetire brake or not

I wondered this also, neat

Why does the car have four pedals instead of 2? Is that what shitbox Veeky Forums drives?

the bigger question is why are there four pedals if there are six directions?

Parking brake, clutch, brakes and throttle

Taking the b8

there is braking applied to the rear wheels but it's less than the front because when braking you're slowing down and shifting weight forwards which means that the rear tires will lock up earlier if you use even braking pressure
this is also why rear brakes are generally smaller
street cars may also go even harder in biasing the braking to the front wheels to promote understeer rather than oversteer under braking

wrong. 20% of total brake force comes from the rear.

proportioning valves only activate when the car detects a loss of traction to a wheel

He's gonna have to repaint his rotors soon.

If my car is on a treadmill and I brake, does the treadmill also stop

Is your car what's moving the treadmill?

NOOOOO

THE *PARKING BRAKE* ONLY STOPS THE REAR WHEELS!

WHAT DOES THE *BRAKE* DO?

>Implying I have a friend

mightybenz is to pure for this board

im stupid. i can't tell why this is done and if it is done to lean towards over or understeering

Rear wheels brake to help out the front wheels and thus reduce understeering a bit, they brake less than front wheels to dramatically reduce oversteering (they'd skid the moment you touch the pedal if they braked the same).

Make sure to floss inside the cooling fins before applying rotor paint. Very important. Affects brake performance, heat transfer and pedal feel.

okay, so when you're braking you're slowing down right? this promotes front weight transfer, which means that you have more grip with your front tires compared to your rear tires
so, front brakes can apply more force without locking the wheel
sometimes, you have to brake while turning which uses up some of the grip the tires have and in those cases it can be good to intentionally push the brake bias back so that rather than understeering through a turn, you get a little bite of oversteer that you can correct safely.

one for the brakes on the left side one for the brakes on the right side

You cunts aren't being serious are you?
people put vise grips on their rear brake lines.
