Why not just go with the HT 10s on the rear also??

I've found it effective to run a less aggressive rear pad in cars that have a front weight bias.

I'm currently running Carbotech XP10s on all four corners. The rears have lasted longer than fronts, and the OEM pad compound is definitely garbage (I don't even like them on the street). So I'm inclined to agree with Edward on the matter.

I seem to be a minority in running the XP10s on back. Mike Jr. at Carbotech told me many of his S197 customers run the 10s in front and XP8s in back, so again, Edward probably has a legitimate point. I will say that I love the 10s all around. She comes down hard as heck, very composed, and I usually have no problem out braking most of the cars I run with. I can brake in just about any manner at will; it's very confidence inspiring. My suspension is fully upgraded, but I couldn't tell you what part(s), if any, seem to help me manage the 10s in the rear better, but its working for me.

Best,

Just another (rather late) data point here, but on the track I run Hawk Blues all around (which are very aggressive) and my front/rear pad wear is very even. The Mustang does a very good job of using it's rear brakes.

Man, it's no mystery that the stock rear pads are worthless even under normal daily driving...
Mine started to disintegrate 3 weeks ago, lol.

I'm surprised Ford didn't get any law suit on that one yet.

Well I decided to run PFC01's w/ Stoptech's up front and PFC97's on the stock rear setup. I'll upgrade to the PFC Z-rated caliper kit at some point I'm sure.
