Default Brake opinions...

Sitting here thinking about this, and figured I would put this question forward for opinions.

I have a very low mileage S, something like 17,000miles max. I bought a set of EBC sport rotors, and B-Force project Mu pads for the front. I more then likely wont be tracking the car, but will be driving fairly hard on the back roads. Do you all think that I should bother with matching the rears with the same set up? The pads and rotors on the rear are like new.

For street use the stock setup is more than adequate. I track my S with stock rotors and Carbotech pads and have no complaints.

I wouldn't waste money on the rears if the original pads still look new after 17k miles.

Well, Ive heard the stock setup is actually quite impressive overall, however, I bought this car second hand, and I think the last driver was a little light on the brakes. Car doesnt seem to have the "bite" they should with such little mileage. Light braking can sometimes cause glazing. Never actually putting any real pressure on the pads. So... having said that, I bought a set of fronts. Just tied up with deciding whether to do rears or not. Not a real biggie I suppose.

Anyone know who sells Project Mu online? My local guy that I got the fronts from is on a 3 month holiday, so I have to wait till then, or get the pads online somewhere.
