Hello,

We have a 2006.0 Kia Optima that may need brake service soon. As far as I know these cars have 4 disc brakes. Are the rear brake pads really used in normal braking (apart from handbrake use)? I am thinking of having just the front brake pads replaced, not the back pads. What do you suggest?

Thanks.
