Mixing brake pads front and rear [vx220]

[Corranga]

Erica ordered a set of Mintex m1144 for her vx220 (same size pads as the Elise I reckon)

She has received m1144 rears (mdb1891) and m1155 fronts (mdb1890).
Is it a bad idea to mix these?

The car is running standard discs.

I know the VX ABS is a bit crap too, are the m1155 likely to cause issues?

Regardless get that fuse pulled out for the abs - its woeful!

In theory the issue is that the 1155s heat up more slowly - although in saying that i changed 1144s for 1155s and didnt notice much difference from cold. They are different when hot though.

For the sake of £60 i'd change to the same compound front and rear.

Fuse will kill the speedo and cause idle stalls, cut the wire and add a switch if you want it off. The other option is disconnect at the hub sensor

It's the yellow wire under the bonnet!

I am running 1155 on the Europa, which is a VX in drag, no issues with abs , brakes have a better feel and are sharper. No idea if 44 / 55 mix will work but I would reccomend the switch to 1155.
