Ummm, honestly I don't know, I got them 'cos I am a bit of a sheep and do what the rest of the herd does without thinking. When the Durga came out everyone was posting that you must get a) slipper, b) one way, c) CVDs. So I did. Latterly it settled down to just the slipper and the front CVDs being a "must buy".
If I was to guess I'd say it is because they are more efficient than dog bones and to buy fronts as they work through a greater angle than the rears what with having to cope with the steering. Also, I think that the front end is more prone to the odd knock and dogbones can sometimes pop out which is not a massive problem indoors, but on an outside track it could be a nightmare trying to find it again.
Just my opinion so if anyone else can enlighten us please feel free.
