I went with a split friction setup, DTC-70 front, DTC-60 rear since that worked well for me before on the Carbotechs. From what I have heard the 370Zs are a bit rear brake biased with matching compounds front/rear.

This is true. If I run the same compound front and rear then the rear can get a little squirmy under heavy braking. ABS keeps it in check but if you like to brake in straight lines go with the one step down for the rear.
