But if your backs are locking prematurely, your fronts may not be getting max braking.... And the fronts are responsible for the vast majority of braking force in a panic stop.
My point being make sure your focus is on the fronts... Yes it's good to maximize rear braking, but not at the expense of front braking performance. And if you are locking the backs before the front, you very well may be.
