What are the advantages of going to the 13 in the rear? Once I wear through my current set, I might try the combo and see how that goes.

13s are more aggressive than 08s. Just a way to balance bias when you can't adjust hydraulic bias.

Unfortunately they don't offer 08's in the AP caliper shape but 01's (which are like throwing an anchor out the back  ) are only $192 a set, you shed 20lbs off the car, easier pad swaps and get better braking all around. Plus Hawk HPS pads for the street are only $97.
Currently running Sprint 01 Front / Stock 08 Rear and it's been great!
*edit*
See what happens when you do this at work?  @ ZionsWrath Just realized you said you had the Sprint Kit already. PFC recommended the 90 compound in place of the 08 up front. DO NOT use them. I lost significant braking confidence/performance by 20 minutes into my sessions. Try the 01/08 route. Loud AF in the Sprint kit but ridiculous braking ability and session longevity. |
Good info. We'll see how we like the 01/08 combo on the AP calipers and go from there. We talked to PFC, and they don't offer the 08/13 combo since the balance is totally thrown off IF you don't do the pedal dance. With EBD disabled, it's great. So we'll see if we can talk them into making us some pads. If not, we'll get some pads from somewhere else. We've had good luck getting custom pads made from Cobalt in the past.
