Brake Pad Compound - Same or different Front and Back

Eagle

I'm running the same compounds. I've done that with the MX72, MX72+ and Winmax W5 on the Sport Akebono calipers. So far everything has gone well with that setup for me.

For intermediate to Advanced, the Endless pads are pricey but offer long life for pads/rotors, handle the heat well and stop nicely.

The W5's bite harder and as such you can rotate the car under braking pretty well (with good modulation of the pedal), are inexpensive but will not last as long and will eat up your rotors faster than the Endless pads.

My recommendation is to start with the Endless pads if you can afford it. If not maybe start with something like a Winmax W4 or something similar. Also don't skimp on the brake fluid, I've been running Brembo LCF and HTC64 and really like them. They handle high temps, dont boil over and seem to last a good while.
