I just went and bedded in my ST43 fronts and it was almost impossible to stay out of ABS. Way to much front pad for stock rear. Any recommendations for what to pair it with for rear? A buddy of mine who races mention Hawk HT10 so figured I would ask here as well. Are DTC-60 overkill for the rears? Probably. I don’t believe they make DTC-30 reats for us and I don’t see HT-10s either

Why don't you consider using the ST43s for the rears as well?
It's the same compound after all

Yeah that’s what i’m Going to end up doing. I didn’t know if the same compound front/rear was idea for our car so wanted some opinions. I didn’t know if a slightly less aggressive rear would be better for balance.I’ll get a call into Porterfield first thing tomorrow morning to hopefully get them before my event in 2 weekends

ST43 is of course your answer.

A.) The braking bias is calibrated for the same compound front & rear
B.) The braking system has EBD, but it only has so much bias range available, so a big mu split will max out your EBD and make the car stop with less force.

^^ so much this..
I am currently running ST47 F and ST45 R and I am still not sure if these are any better than running ST43s all around because of the above reasons. I remember reading a recent discussion about this on Corvette forums I believe. General consensus was running exact compound is always better since it allows more balanced pad wear, front and rear.

Great info guys. Thank you. Just called Porterfield and ordered the ST43 rears.
