Joe, I think you mis-understood Ken. he doesn't have blues on side of the car, and yellows on the other. He has a blue pad on one side of the rotor, and a yellow on the other. Still a novel approach.
I do find that I need to address bias with different pads front to rear. I had significant rear lock up issues running Hawk Blues all around. Many guys in our region use Hawk Blue front, and HP+ in the rear. I now use DTC-60 pads in the front, and Blues in the rear - a similar bias F/R but more bite all around - less pedal pressure.
That is correct, less bite than all yellow and more than all blue pads. I can't remember where I picked that one up from but it helps with the bias and is less expensive than plumbing in a bias valve.
I'd like to try the Hawk pads next but not sure which ones. 60's and blues or blues and hp+
