I've had hawk hps up front and pbr out back for the past year or so... They heat up differently so sometimes my fronts will start dragging on a hot day of braking even though the pedal still has some slop in it.

I don't know if this is attributed to the difference in brake pads, my car may just suck. My experience though

I run two compounds, but same company.... I would run more aggressive ones in the front and less aggressive in the rear, not the other way around....

Hey BBQ's tomorrow, me and a buddy is going to swing by, what is a good time and ima bring ice cream cause 1on1 can't go

Front'r are ralliart art TARMAC pads...

Rears are ENDLESS Q-power (blue)...

i have Full EVO brakes swap and the rear's and front are the same power...but since front brakes get more power i've chosen tarmac pads..

hope this help,

oh for track i have HAWK HP+ front and ENDLESS ceramic pads rear....

It doesn't really matter. But like Slider said, I usually get better up front and something a little less bitey in the back. Rear S chassis brakes suck anyways.

im thinking getting a porterfield in the front for my q45 and hawk hp pads in the rear.

I dont think it matters.

I got Hawks up front and OEM equiv in the rear.
