[F500] what brake pad compounds?

[John Whitling]

Thanks Jeff, that kind of input helps me out, as I also have a single 
rear caliper. I'm trying to use the same pads front and rear in order to 
get consistent performance but it takes a wide heat range pad to do that 
because the rear runs hotter than the front.  Have you tried all blue or 
all black pads?
