What is the standard ? 50/50, 60/40 etc

Had my rear discs and pads changed recently and have covered say 500~ miles on them and have noticed some brake squeal under light braking.

After a burn I have also noticed the front discs are mega hot to touch whilst the rears are noticably less and touchable.

Is this the norm?

Anyone?

The front brakes are doing a lot more work then the rears, so sounds normal to me?

If thats the norm then super cheers

The standard is 75/25 Isn't it?

Was going to drop it back in to be checked as I wasn't aware of ratio but it is breaking fine i'll give that a miss... gave it a bit of a run and the squeeling has pretty much dried up.

Obviously not caining it enough

Fronts should do the majority of the work, not sure on specific ratios though. The squeal is probably just the new pads/disk bedding in.

Fronts do most of the work, but how relevant is the bias ratio on a car with standard anti-lock?

FWIW, under really hard braking the weight distribution can move to something like 90/10 front/rear.
