Default Brake Pad Usage Question for the Group

I have been going through all the used brake pads in my garage and have been trying to figure out if I can use some combination of them to get the most out of the money I have spent. I have Wilwood SL6 calipers on the front and have some close to new E pads that fit them. However, my rear E pads are quite worn and maybe have a half of day left in them. I do have some PFC 99 rear pads that probably have several days life left in them.

What does the group think about using the Wilwood Es in the Wilwood caliper in front and the PFC 99s in the stock caliper in the rear? Is it possible or will I have an unmanageable braking situation and should just pop for a new set of E pads for the rear?

Bill I think your PFC 99s will have more grip then the WIlwood Es. May have a rear bias if you do.
