mixing brake pad types

[Jon Davis]

It isn't too bad depending on what you mix and your driving conditions. It
will change the brake balance. How much depends on what pads you use, they
all have a different coefficient of friction. I put a non-OEM brand on the
front of my 200SX and it made it extremely dangerous to drive in the snow. I
quickly switched to OEM to restore the balance.
