I never had any problems running XP8/XP8 or HP+/HP+ front/rear on the S2000, even without ABS.
Ditto with HP+/HP+, XP8/XP8, XP10/XP10 on the Z, and XP10/XP10 on the FD.

I've never experienced anything on track that would make me want to go with higher-spec front pads vs. rears on the Z, AP1, or FD. I want the rears contributing to the effort!
We've had this discussion before
