I agree with Rthorne especially on the cars with wing. The stock bias is too much to the front. This is typical on production cars, just like any production cars comes with understeer dialed into the car.
Data shown you can run much more rear bias than factory. Everyone riding a bike knows, in order to do a front wheel stand (whatevechamacallit), you need to shift your weight and unload the rear. If you ride bikes regularly, with your weight positioned regularly, you will have to use a lot more rear brakes. Same with bicycle, you can't just use front brakes to get maximum braking, you need quite the help of the rear.

If you have increased your front piston size or rotor size, then you may really need to up your rear pad compound. On the other hand, if you are running a non aggressive pad up front, then your rear brakes are going to take over a lot of load, especially with the front not diving, that usually torches them pretty quick (iv done it). There used to be a seller of cobalt pads around, they were recommending xr1's or 2 up front and xr5's in rear...
With a car with 50/50 weight bias, I couldnt see how this would be ideal, But theory aside I have tried it, And yes the car was stable, and front bite was still good, but the car could not decelerate anywhere near the rate it could when running a set of xr2's on the rear.
just my .02 sounds like your on the right track

i've tried lower compound at rear and it got worse.
next try will be to get higher rear compound.
my tires are stock stagger 215/245. this was the same on AD08 and R1R.
the pad i use is Hawk DTC-30 - no problem to use it daily and it withstand a lot of abuse.
