What do you all think about:
1) Ferodo DS2500 in the front and HP+ in the rear.
2) Ferodo DS2500 in the front and OEM in the rear.
3) Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Takeshi,
We're only about a month out on the Ferodo DS2500's for the rear arriving from Italy. If you can make it another month, I'd recommend going with the Front DS2500 asap, and getting the rear DS2500 as soon as they are available. In the meantime run the OEM rears. No sense throwing your money away on the rear HP+'s. These cars are much harder on the front brakes than the rears, and the front DS2500's will see you through until the rears arrive.
Assuming you don't have six track days in the next four weeks, and you won't be burning through your OEM rears during that time, that's the route I'd take.
