Brake pad help
I switched from a 1-1/8", to a 1" master (manual) with good results. Now I need to upgrade my pads, which should be easy, right? The problem is finding matching pads front to rear. Factory D52 fronts, with Explorer rear brakes. I'm only finding HD suv brake pads for the rear (naturally). The closest I've found are EBC yellows, or Wilwood E compound front, and Wilwood Promatrix rears.
I need good cold bite for drag racing, and decent streetability.
The cars weighs about 3600 with me in it.
What do you guys think?
By the way, yes, I asked this question in my master cyl thread but, I thought I'd get more responses with a new post.
Thanks, Steve

Don't worry to much if the pads aren't the same front/rear. I almost never have the same pads all around. The Front has a million choices, the rear not so much. Try Hawk or EBC, a little more aggressive in front.
