I run a Brembo 365 GT front kit with stock rear brakes.

When you guys run a front BBK only, do you use the same pads all around? How long do the rear pads last compared to the front after track use? Can't see myself dropping $7k+ for BBKs in the front & rear, but starting with the front only sounds appealing...

Im curious about this as well. I would want to go 380mm for more thermal capacity and I'd think its better on track than the 365. But will that skew the brake balance too much to the front?

This is smurfm3 from Roadfly. Last I remember you had a TiAg E46 M3 with 100K+, sold it for some American car (was it a GTO?) and now I see you're back in an M5... |

In most cases, running the BBK's default pad in the front and stock rear pad would be fine, assuming the coefficient of friction of the front pad isn't significantly different than stock. I know both StopTech and Brembo front kits work fine with stock rear pads. Quote:
How much bias you have on a particular axle is based on, among many things, the size of the rotor and the size of the pistons. Think of it as turning a wrench. To create the same amount of torque, you can have a shorter wrench with a stronger arm; or a longer wrench with a weaker arm. The same principle applies to brakes. The 365 kit has larger pistons than the 380 kit to offset the rotor diameter difference.

Would it be wrong to assume that this car can adjust the bias essentially "as it sees fit"?
OP, you might want to look into the new Racing Brake front only BBK option. Quote:

And now I'm waiting for the delivery of the rear 380mm BBK (HPS pads) to finish the job. |

Modern cars nowadays have electronic brake force distribution along with ABS, traction control, stability control, etc. Each car has a default bias curve and it is adjusted on-the-fly using a series of valves. However, there is a limit to which the curve can vary. For example, if the default is 60/40, it can probably go to 70/30 as it sees fit... but not something extreme like 90/10.
