From everything I've read, same compound front and rear is ideal. Mixing compounds does change braking torque, but will be inconsistent through usage at different heat levels, pedal pressures, etc, so braking balance front and rear isn't exactly balanced and linear.

Are you certain the EBD is actively changing pressures front and rear? I thought line pressures were fixed, and EBD only activated single lines in response to some loss of stability such as an imminent spin, ABS activation, etc (with the VSC on at some level).
