So, do you use the same pads on both, or are the pads for vented different from solid disks. and yes upon closer inspection they are vented.

early cars use the same pad shape, BUT different caliper to accomodate the differing disc widths.................

the shoes are inside the rear disc, the centre assembly acts as a "drum"..........................

Best to keep the same pad compound front and rear. If the fronts stop better you'll find the car pitches even more and can squirm under heavy braking.
