explorer 8.8 in an a-body: experience needed
Changed the front pads twice. Still on the same rears.
The truck stops very, very, well.
I do a lot of extreme fourwheeling. There have been plenty of times that I have had to back down incredibly steep rock faces, and hills. When backing the rear brakes become the front. If there was a problem with the rear brakes it would definitely be felt in those situations... but there is no issue.
