Any Downside to run DTC60's Front and Rear?

Have been running DTC60's on the fronts and HP Plus on the rears with no problems but wondering if I can get more braking efficiency with DTC60's on the rears as well. Possibility of lock-up? I don't abuse my brakes, am used to braking hard over shortest distance possible, trail-braking when the corner calls for it. Never had fading problems. Bleed religiously just b4 an event. Opinion/s appreciated.

No need to really. The back brakes do little braking. I'd have the same concern you do - getting into ABS all the time with the rears. Plus you add the hassle of changing pads.

I run DTC-60s in Outlaw 2000 calipers at the front and HP Plus at the rear. The DTC-60s are track use only. The HP Plus are track and street.
