Same pad front and rear. I've never had a problem with the dreaded ICE Mode on a setup that isn't staggered except for one time and that was on the OEM sport pads. I've noticed that a lot of the drivers experiencing ICE mode run staggered compounds, I think that's no coincidence.

Got feedback from Sonny at 949 Racing on this, he says this isn't generally a problem for cars that don't have ABS systems. But running the staggered pads changes the brake bias and throws off the ECU.

Their fix was to either run the same compound all around, disable/remove ABS or play around with different compounds till you get something that won't trigger the Ice mode.
