Before there was ABS, the rear brakes were "detuned" to be only about 35% of the pressure of the fronts. With ABS, the rear brakes are no longer "detuned" and can apply more pressure without fear of lockup.

Rear pads still last about twice as long as fronts, but need to be checked when the fronts get ready to be replace.
