Default Rear brake pad only ???? EBC???

i know ebc greenstuffs have a worse than ok maybe reputation, but i have a rear piston caliper that is stuck and plan on replacing it. what i need or would like to know is will the ebc's i have laying around work for the rears only. i have cobalts up front (which i can't say enough good things about) so i'm those are not an area on concern. this vehicle is for track use only (auto-x). thanks for the help guys.

I destroyed a set of carbotech kelate metallic (autocross compound, green color) in the rear of my car in 2 weekends. Although those two weekends were spend on tracks that are not brake friendly (Jefferson Circuit and CMP) it was a very short death for pads that are only good for about 700 deg F.

They'll be fine for autocross. Not ideal, but they'll work until you can get some better pads on there.

Goto Advance Auto and buy some $11 Wearever pads.

Sell the EBCs to a Stunna for $30.

OK.

Use the change as a down-payment on taking your girl to the movies.

Better?
