Carbotech
Why dont you and other brake pad manufactures publish their friction graphs like Wilwood?
Ive been using PF 01 pads front and rear for many years. What Carbotech product would have similar characteristics?
Seems most use a milder pad in the rear. I average 130 degree less in the rear, but Im happy with the same pads all around. Your thoughts.

Because there is no set standard for testing CoF. You can set the test up to show the kind of numbers you want to see. There are too many variables. This is exactly why a lot of companies have gone away from having those graphs.
The reason we usually recommend one compound lower in the rear is because it acts as brake bias. It will help keep the rear end under control, and it will really help with trail braking. But, some drivers are more comfortable with the same compound on the front and rear. A Corvette’s chassis is stiff enough that you can run the same compound on the front and rear.
