Brakes shudder when stopping due to uneven wear on brake rotors or brake pads, causing vibrations that are felt in the steering wheel or brake pedal. This can be caused by factors such as overheating, worn-out brake components, or improper installation.
Slam on the brakes and steer around the obstruction. Do not pump the brakes. The ABS will do this for you. Be prepared for noises and a shudder in the brake pedal which is normal.
Front wheel shudder could come from worn tires, bad brakes, or worn front end components. Check all of these to find the cause of the shudder.
Brakes shudder due to uneven wear or warping of brake rotors. This can be resolved by resurfacing or replacing the rotors, and ensuring proper installation and maintenance of the brake system.
Front brakes have significantly more stopping power than rear brakes.
Your brakes may shudder when you apply pressure to them due to warped brake rotors. Warped rotors can cause uneven braking and vibrations, leading to the shuddering sensation. It is recommended to have your brakes inspected and repaired by a professional mechanic to ensure safe driving.

Larger brakes = shorter stopping distance.
Certainly, all four wheel brakes are used in normal stopping. However, the lions share of the stopping power is from the front brakes, yes.
The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.

Front brakes provide about 70% of stopping force. Disc brakes have an advantage over drum brakes in that they can provide more stopping force without overheating (and thus loosing their stopping efficiency). I believe drum brake units are less costly to manufacture than disc brakes, so using them on the rear also saves manufacturing costs.
