On a side note Mike I have AX6 pads for the rear, but my fronts are shot along with my rotors (new stock rotors already installed). I'd rather just buy new front pads for track days for now until I save up enough for the AP racing endurance kit. I'm assuming XP10 is what you'd recommend for the front on RE-11a tires with 250whp? My rear AX6 pads have lots of life left.
Well, here's the dilemma. A more aggressive front pad means the front will be doing even MORE work, which means the rear pad will last even longer, because it's barely being used. Meanwhile, the front pad doing more work will soon be doing all the work (well like 95% of it) if you do a XP10/AX6 stagger, which results in faster wearing front pads.

How long did your front AX6 last you? I wouldn't recommend going more than a XP8/AX6 stagger, because the front bias will be massive if you go more than that.
