For track pads...is there consensus on using the same pad compound F/R or using stronger up front and less on back? I have run XP10/8 and see most run different compounds; however, several seem to run the same compound F/R.

The reason for my ask is that I am looking to switch away from CarboTech as I seem to continuously get brake deposits leading to heavy vibration. It was recommend that I try Hawk DTC-60....but not sure if I should determine a different compound for the rear.

I am also installing Stillen's 2" Brake Duct kit in hopes to reduce the deposits.

I welcome recommendations for track only pads and if they should be same or different compounds F/R.
