1) Do they stop better? Yes. Better, more abrasive material that holds up under high heat. 2) Why thicker? Last longer. And while not the reason, thicker pads dissipate heat better, but only for a time. Thinner, older pads just the opposite.

Bedded my brakes. Love the smell of hot brake pads as it reminds me of the track.

Front brakes tend to be larger because 70%+ of braking happens in the front due to the back-to-front weight transfer that occurs when braking. The majority of the load to slow down is in the front, plus too much braking power in the rear would lock up the driven wheels more easily.

Thanks for clarifying the caliper thing, I was very surprised to see that the rears were smaller. |
