I have the BP-10 pads for the front, but what pads are you using on the rears? I'm assuming I shouldn't keep the stock pads, correct?

Thanks in advance,

From what I have been told, you want to have a little more friction on the rear rotor with the larger fronts to better balance the system.

I'm using Hawk HP+ on the rear. Got them at JSC. I will be trying them on the track (with the BP10's) for the first time this Wednesday so I'll let you know how they work. So far around town they have been fine.

The last two years I was using the Ferodo 2500's on the rears with E pads on the front. I have not liked the way they wore (much too quickly) so I thought I would try the Hawks.

BTW, the Q pads on the front didn't fare well. I would not recommend them

I'm using BP10 fronts and Hawk HPS on the rears. So far the HPS rears have held up through two sets of BP10s on the front and still have 80% of the pad remaining. I use these street and track, no fade issues yet.
