Rear Brake Pads...worth getting???

I was wondering do you think I'm going to get any benefits by upgrading the rears pads? Just that I'm ordering new fronts(Hawk HP+) should i just get HP+ for the rear too? Or just go for the OEM's?

Thanks everyone!

If you're going with HP+ just for the street use then you probably won't need to upgrade the rears. However just know that the more front bias that you have the more the car will push under braking. That said I'd probably get a set of cheap performance pads like the Axxis Ultimates or something for the rear.

So if i got pads that are less bias for the front and more bias towards the rear i'll get the car to turn a bit better under braking?

thanks again!

Judging by your way of thinking, I'm guessing you posted this in the wrong forum.

My advice: Just do the front pads. Try it out with the OEM rear pads as is. It will probably be fine (especially since the HP+ is basically a street pad more than an all-out track pad). If you don't like it, you can always swap the rear pads later, but otherwise, you can wait till the rears need replacing, and then go for pads that match the front.
