Default front/rear brake bias Q

I'm probably going to ping Cobalt Andie tommorrow but I figured I'd see what the itr peeps think.
Right now I run Hawk HPS pads both front and rear on the street.
Oh the track I run Hawk Blues on the front and keep the HPS on the rear because the fronts do most of the braking anyway. I've had the HPS on the rears for about 30k (7-8 HPDEs) and they're pretty worn- waay more than the fronts. I was thinking of trying HP+ on the rears to see if they're a bit better on track days and then was reading favorable reviews of Cobalt GT Sport for street/track/HPDE so I wanted to see what do you think about running either the HP+ or GT Sport on the rear and keeping the weaker HPS on the front for street use. Do you think this setup will be OK or will I lock up the rears or anything wacky like that on the street? I don't drive aggressively at all on the street but don't want any suprises.
Please opine
thanks

jeff

GT-sports in the rear won't make you lock up the brakes... especially on the streets, 'cuz you'll never get it hot enough during your 2mi commute. (It'll squeel like hell though, especially w/ winter coming up.) GT-S is definitely streetable though...

So, that's my not so informative contribution to the thread.
