They are 40/60 because when the brakes are applied weight distribution shifts to 60/40.

I don't know what happens to a 60/40 or 50/50 balanced car when the brakes are appled. Although a review of the Boxster I once read said it was a pleasent experience of constantly shifting from under-steer to over-steer depending on the manuver and course action.
