One of the race cars I take care of (87 Nissan turbo) has VERY similar
brakes to the 318(Size and caliper arrangement.).
It goes through about 5 sets of front pads to each
set of rear pads. Its a 2600 lb car and even with 900 lb springs in front
under hard braking you can't add much bias to the rear without locking
a wheel. And yes its bad if the rear locks first.... Wheeeeee spin wheeeeee
