The pain was going through a rear pad faster than the front pad. That caught me unprepared one weekend.
everyone else recommends the opposite about the rear pads being more aggressive than the front pads...
That setup does have more aggressive pads on the rear axle.

Maybe rear bbk for me soon.

Until you've run the thermographic paint and/or caliper stickers, you're just guessing.

I've had the rear end feel not very planted in high speed braking on track. I run HC-CS in front and rear is MX72 pads. The car stops fine but you do feel the rear get light and wiggle around when braking hard in a straight line.

It was my budget set up as I had a full set of MX72 before. I fried the MX72 front pads at the pad's first time on track - terrible pad for track use. I am changing to HC-CS all around now.
