Default Uprated pads front or all round ????

This might be a stupid question but i`m gonna ask anyway.

Is it worth havin uprated pads all round or just the fronts, does its make much difference ?

Thanx White un

Rear brakes you will find are not used much, hene people tend to spend money on uprating tp a decent pair for the fronts...

If you're going for a pad that needs a bit of heat in it to work properly then it may be best to uprate the rears as well.

Hi

If possible, it is ALWAYS best to have the same compound brake pad material front and rear.

Hope this helps.
