Default anything wrong with running different brakes front and rear

through unforseen problems I have ended up with different setups front and rear. sometimes it feels like the back brakes harder than the front ones do. In the front I have kvr blanks with autozone ceramic pads. in the back I have kvr crossdrilled with kvr carbon pads or napa crap pads I don't remember which ones anymore. Could I be running a bad combo here.

Default Re: anything wrong with running different brakes front and rear

As long as the front pads are the "best" (have the highest coefficient of friction) you'll be fine. If you have a "race" pad on the rear and stock on the front, you are likely to have problems under heavy braking and possibly brake hop (wheel hop when stopping). GOod luck!
