yeah, originally I choose the compound distribution because I didn't think I would be going pretty much every other weekend and I wanted to keep the noise and dust more in check. I was figuring that the rear brakes would be more work to swap than the fronts so I just kept with one compound for the rear. Then I kind of stopped swapping the pads and after mucking up some rotors in the process I realized that I should be swapping rotors also which was alot of work :p
I'm not yet doing the pedal dance but it is something I want to move up to; so far I have only tried it on some autocross runs.
