Note: Optimal brake bias matches the dynamic weight distribution during braking. Front-heavy distribution (60-70% front) is typical for passenger cars.

Reference

Weight Transfer = W x g x h / wheelbase Front Dynamic Load = Front Static + Weight Transfer Rear Dynamic Load = Rear Static - Weight Transfer Front Brake Force = Total Force x (Front Dynamic / W) Rear Brake Force = Total Force x (Rear Dynamic / W)
