Bought a set of O'Reilly's finest OEM style brakebest pads for the rear and put them in today (and also washed the car and nut-n-bolted it). On the ensuing test drive, on the 4th 60 to 20 mph hard braking try the fronts locked up well before the rears...which is what I wanted. When I came back in the shop, the front rotors were 460f and the rears were 380f.
The rear tires were also at the wear indicators and the fronts still had a tad to go to the indicators, so I swapped them as well putting the better ones on the rear.
I've got a local race tomorrow to test everything out once again before I bolt the new rubber on next week.
