Thanks! The car needs plenty of front tire with its front weight bias. By my calculations the Hotchkis front anti-roll bar adds slightly more stiffness than the BMR rear bar, so as such the added front grip ends up being balanced. It worked out perfect. It appears the ratio of front-to-rear tire wear is slightly better than with the staggered tire setup, meaning it chews up front front tires less with the square setup. If anything, the car needs staggered tires up front, like a 315 front and 305 rear, but that's a tough physical fitment and even tougher to get the diameters right.
Here's an option for titanium shims for the 1405 pads:
