whose characteristics matched the ones I was using in the front. You want balanced braking, not unequal forces. And since you'll be in there to change the brake fluid as part of the 60k, changing the front pads too wouldn't be much work so then you could have all 4 corners matching.

You should also swap the serpentine belt. Keep the one you are using now for a spare.
