Subaru did a good job with the brakes on my Legacy, except for the dual-stage booster brain fart. The fronts do reach ABS first, but I've actually gotten there with the rears too. As I mentioned, cars with lower centers of gravity keep weight on the rear wheels under braking, and can be set up to do significant braking with the rear wheels. Subaru felt compelled to install *larger* rear discs than front, on my wagon, and I can't see them adding rotating, unsprung weight without a good reason. ( 10.7" fronts and 11.3" rears. ) -- D a v i d H i l l m a n nma, scca, scscc, imoc
