Balancing your braking forces is certainly a good idea but you don't have to change hardware to get there. Simply running pads with more bite on the rear will move your braking forces aft. Many Spec racers run Pagid orange up front and Pagid Black on the rear. With Box S hardware up front you could run Pagid yellow there and Blacks on the rear for even more rear bias. Be careful when changing bias though. Too much rear bias and the car gets squirrelly under heavy braking with the ABS engaging on the rears first.
