Uprated Rear Pads, Yes or No
I have uprated the front pads on my WRX STi V3 to Mintex M1144 and am considering swopping the rear ones to the same compound. Car is only used for sprinting. Would this increase the chance of me accidently locking the wheels due to the brake balance. Should I stick to standard ones.

Well, when i uprated the fronts, i didn't bother doing the rears for a while, when i di however, i was amazed, the uprated rear pads make the rear of the car sort of 'squat'... if you know what i mean, which means less weight transfer etc, which can only be a good thing.... so yes, uprate the rear aswell!!
