Well said.  So, instead of 80/20 it might be more like 70/30 or even 65/35.  I might need to spray some PB Blaster inside my brain, pretty rusty in there!  But overall, Front Brakes definitely do most of the work.

 Don’t forget those studies factored in a front heavy, front engined vehicle and not the approximate 52/48 F/R weight ratio of a Vanagon.
