Then why do we come stock with bigger brakes in the rear?

Stock Isuzu VX:

Front brake configuration 11.0" ventilated disc
Rear brake configuration 12.3" ventilated disc

It seems to me, if I remember correctly, you would want better braking power on the wheels with the most power going to them? some one correct me if I'm wrong?

That's why most front wheel drive cars have bigger rotors in the front, right?

I would suspect bigger brakes in front would cause more severe nose dive on a vehicle like the VX

Does anyone know for sure with our brake system wether or not the fronts engage first or the rear?

I'm Just asking and being curious, not doubting you
