Question Blown Motor Question

Is it more common for the Front rotor to go out or the rear? My car's Rear rotor went out but i am just curious if there is any, umm what's the word...... more reason that one rotor goes out instead of the other. Thanks for your input guys

Definitely the rear, as it did on mine. One of the reasons I heard is because cooling is less efficient at the rear of the engine. Maybe there are others.

Its the rear, and cooling is the issue. Mazda tried to solve the problem with the studder valve in first gens, and fuel cut defenders in the seconds(i think). But its still the rear rotor that takes the punnishment.
