I noticed this just driving around my driveway, and also could feel the fronts massively over-powering the rears on the 1.6 demo car I drove - the ground was slightly loose.

As John said, most mid engined cars of a similar proportion to the 5exi seem to have at least the same size rear discs.

Like the Elise, the VX220 also has the same discs front to rear, though different calipers. My friend finds his VX very prone to locking the fronts (well firing the abs), especially in the wet when you can't as easily gradually load up the fronts to get the grip.

My plan is to get through the SVA with whatever it takes, then up the size of the rears considerably, and control with a bias adjuster.
