What is brake bias?

Definition & Description
Brake bias is the percentage of total braking force applied to the front wheels. It can also be called “brake balance.”

A 60-70% bias is common on RWD street vehicles. This means the front brakes provide 60-70% of the total braking force. FWD cars can have up to 80% bias.

Why is it important?
Brake bias helps the driver maintain control while braking. In most cases, the front brakes provide more force than the rear. This is due to weight transfer.

When braking, weight transfers from the rear to the front. This increases traction in the front and reduces it in the rear. If the brakes had a 50/50 balance, the rear wheels would lock up first. This could cause a dangerous spin.

Optimal bias is when all 4 wheels lock up at the same time. However, there is no magic number. Every vehicle will be different. Bias will even change over time, depending on:

Road conditions
Tire wear
Brake component wear
Vehicle load
NOTE: OEM brake systems are often designed with 5-10% additional front bias. This increases stability but slightly increases stopping distance. The trade-off is generally acceptable for street driven vehicles. They travel at slower speeds and don’t require max performance.

What affects brake bias?
Many factors affect the brake bias. Changing out brake or suspension parts will affect the bias. Even the tires and how the vehicle is loaded will have an impact.

Increases Front Bias Increases Rear Bias
Larger front rotors Larger rear rotors/drums
Front pads with more friction Rear pads/shoes with more friction
Larger front caliper pistons Larger rear pistons (caliper or wheel cylinder)
Smaller rear rotors/drums Smaller front rotors
Rear pads/shoes with less friction Front pads with less friction
Smaller rear pistons (caliper or wheel cylinder) Smaller front caliper pistons
Lowered suspension Lifted suspension
More weight on the rear axle Less weight on the rear axle
Less weight on the front axle More weight on the front axle
Less "sticky" tires More "sticky" tires

Final Thoughts
Maintaining the right brake bias is critical. It will keep your street vehicle as safe as possible. It will also maximize your performance on the track.

When making changes to any vehicle, consider the effect on the brakes. For example, if you lift your truck, you may need bigger front rotors or better pads.

After you make vehicle modifications, always test the brakes. For safety, this should be done at a track or other controlled environment.
