Brake pads for biasing f/r on my SWB help needed

[RonW]

Ive got a 68 912 w/ a 2270 TIV and ive gone thru the suspension w/ poly bushings, 21/27 mm torsion bars, sway bars, and have just swapped in an 82 SC front end which got new bilteins/decambered ball joints and monoballs. ive put on new vented rotors and rebuilt the calipers. now instead of putting in a proportioning valve, i'd like to know what pad combo i could start w/ to properly bias braking w/ my set up w/ the new front end while staying w/ the 68 rear calipers? btw, intended application is street and occasional AX/DE. pagid yellow RS-19 (i think this replaces the orange RS-4-4) / pagid blue RS-4-2?

thanks in advance

Tough call.

You have L-Calipers with solid rotors on the rear? It's hard with those rear arms. I'd say find a caliper solution but... it's tough either way.

Check with the manufacturer of the pads you're looking at. If you want a more aggressive rear pad to make up for the fronts "be cautious". Some times a more agressive pad can take a longer time to warm up and work. In normal driving conditions they may actually work "worse" than expected.

I'd be tempted to simply match the pads and see how it performs.
