Everybody in S2ki uses some form of staggering (like XP10/XP8). I've always used the same compound front and rear, even with no ABS no problemo. Never saw the point in going with less capable pads in back...
For a stock FR-S/BRZ car, I'd probably see how it went with HP+ front and rear for typical track days. Probably sufficient.

I tried equal pads on the S2K, rear ABS activates before the front so if I want to threshold brake I can't use all of the front brake available.
Same problem with the other cars I've owned, especially ones without ABS or ABS removed.
So front pads are WRX and rear are 2010+ LGT for sure. Good news!
