This is why soon after fitting the fronts I added the rear BREMBOs

Since then the pad wear rate has evened out to a ration of 1:1, front to rear.

I have noticed with AP's on front back brakes are over heating and wearing down quicker and that was even in the wet.

What Matt says makes sense because the rear pad surface is smaller therefore more material will be used.
The AP setup has rear discs with the same dimensions to the OEM discs (i was running my OEM discs).
I haven't seen a problem now and with rear pads at 1/4 of brembo rear pads, i will leave it like this for now.

Here is a video of my fastest lap of the day

shimmy > thanks mate. I can go even faster but the pads (currently the road-friendly pads) didn't give me so much confidence. Nevertheless in 3 braking points I hit the brakes at 100m

clubber > It is the RaceChrono Pro. I am using it since years with a bluetooth 10Hz receiver (Qstarz BT818X).
I was condidering to get the racelogic 20Hz BT unit but the position accuracy is worse than the one I currently have.
