ds1.11 front and ds2500 rear

Anyone running ds1.11 front and ds2500 rear? Running ds2500 front/rear for street, want to run ds1.11 for track, deciding between running front and rear vs just the front and keeping ds2500 compound for rear (save money and a little labor). Mainly wanted to make sure it didn't put too much bias in front. TIA.

it will push more brake bias towards front. Run 1.11 on both front and rear

That combination is fine on track. Ran it in the past on stock rotors and on Girodiscs. Now have 4x DS11.1 and 4x DS2500. I'd still recommend getting the DS1.11 for the rear; they're not that expensive and it's better to have a matching set because of what buddy above me said.

was there noticeable difference on the car's braking behavior w/ the mismatched pads vs ds11.1 all around? ill probably get all around, so far the best price ive found is zeckhausen racing. where did you guys get yours?

I switched to Girodiscs with the new pads so I can't really say and it's been months, but for a novice like me, it was more than fine and the front wasn't being overworked at my slower pace. Even with rear oem pads and front ds1.11s on oem rotors.

I'm overseas so can't help with shopping.

check out Best Brakes. I bought a front ds1.11 pads for ~$315. They even shipped them overnight for free because I was anxious about getting them in time for a track day.

For the track or street? If you're on stock blue calipers I'd lean away from adding more bias to the front for track use. F8x has ZERO brake cooling.

i'm using ds2500 front/rear for street. thinking about going ds 11.1 front and rear or just front (and keep ds2500 rear) for HPDE... but probably just will end up going ds 11.1 front and rear for reasons mentioned.

Any update on this? Thinking same of just doing DS11.1 for fronts. The rear DS2500 isn’t even half worn in 6 days. But the front DS2500 is wearing 4x as fast!
