Anyone tried leaving the front pads alone and only upgrading the rears to try and adjust the brake bias? We had to do this in my miata because of excessive lock-up. It mightbtrick the computer into laying off the ice modeandtaking some of the stress and heat build-up off the front brakes.

I tried using a more aggressive pad in the rear only but it didn't help other than making the rear lock up prematurely. The stock bias already favors the rear somewhat and then it uses ABS to dial out rear lockup.
