    I ordered some stop tech pads since I'm in need of new ones relatively soon. I was sent the Stop Tech street performance pads for the front and received posi quiet ceramics for the rear. Will this cause any issues?

    Has anyone else ran different pad types for the front and rear? I'm not sure if I like the idea but don't wanna wait another couple weeks to send them back and wait for another set. Thanks in advance!

    Your rear brakes don't really make much of a difference anyway. The bias is heavily weighted to the front. You should be just fine. I ran quiet pads on my rears and cerametallic pads on the front for years without issue.

    Thanks Readymix I figured everything would be fine but just wanted another opinion. Obviously my car won't barrel roll down the road because of it. I just figured I'd see if anyone had some feedback.
