[QUOTE="Nick@Apollo-Optics, post: 1912056, member: 1314"] Proportioning doesn't mean that it will sense that the front brakes are "doing too much work" and then back off for worse performance. Proportioning works to maximize the balance between both the front and rear for optimal performance. This kind of performance bias and proportioning has been around for years. For example, the Toyota Tacoma STILL in 2023 has rear drum brakes with front disc brakes. Drums definitely do not perform as well as a disc brakes, but the system still remains safe and balanced. As far as cooking a set of brakes coming down that pass, you'll want to upgrade to a setup that can still perform optimally at high temperatures. Whether you upgrade rotors and pads only or ultimately opt for an upgraded caliper with additional pistons, you'll want to make sure that they can handle the high heat generated by your type of driving. Just be warned that as you increase performance, you also increase the likelihood of adding noise and dust. [/QUOTE]
