    Cobalt friction xr1/xr3 for e36 M3?

    I have 332 Stoptechs all the way round and an almost new set of cobalt friction xr3 pads.

    Should I put them up front with a set of cobalt friction xrs in the rear, or put the xr3 in the back and put xr1 up front?

    I've always run hawk dtc70's all the way round, how do the cobalts compare?

    Figure since I have a set I should use them...

    Tia!

    XR1's in front, XR3 in rear

    Otherwise you will be disappointed with XR3 in front if you are used to DTC-70

    How do you not lock up the back with DTC-70s back there + the Stoptech 4 pistons?

    Just put the stoptechs on, haven't run the car on track with them yet. Had the 355 stoptechs all the way round on my E46 M3, no issues with DTC70's front and rear on that car...
