Ferodo DS1.11 Front and Pagid RSL29 Rear, good combination?

[Walt]

I want to try Ferodo DS1.11 in the front on my 2017 Mustang GT PP1. I can't find a Ferodo offering for the rear. Would Pagid RSL29 be a good option to run in the rear or is combining brands with different compounds a bad idea?

Some said to use OEM rear pads, but I found out that these are made by PFC with the EF compound, not by Ferodo (part number FR3Z2200G).

Last time I ran OEM pads (in street mode) I fried them, now I drive in track mode so don't know if they will keep up with proper front pads.

Suggestions, ideas, any experience with said combo? I drive mostly at very brake heavy tracks and have yet to find a brake pad that doesn't glaze.

I've been using the DS1.11 in my car and haven't been impressed. they're fine, but the Cobalts are better. I liked the Cobalt XR1s. I ran XR1 in the rear as well to help with turn in a bit. Favorite pads by far.

The DS1.11s are probably fine for 90% of folks. I just didn't think they had the reliable bite when hot. I could never overheat the Cobalts

Realized I didnt answer your question. From what I've read, the RSL29 pad is a less aggressive pad than the Ferrodos. Personally, I like running the same compound (or characteristics) on front and rear.

The more important consideration is if the compound is compatible with what was run on the rotor before it? Are the rotors new? or did you use a different pad on them before? Mixing compounds/brands on the same rotor is usually frowned upon without at least turning the rotor first.

Any reason you wouldn't just go RSL29 all round. They just work all the time every time for me. Actually except in the wet where they may have too much bite for a pure road tyre. On track with 200TW can't fault them.
