it’s likely that the rear pads are overheating with friction dropping substantially since the HP+ performance curve doesn’t even reach 900*F

but that’s all the chart above is showing; friction bite level relative to temp

however, it clarifies that your F/R selections were not ideally suited for each other. You should consider using the same compound on the rear as previously discussed and let the EBD do it’s thing.
