I will pair up the HT10s with Ferodo DS2500 in the rear, which are not racing pads, but have a higher MOT and friction coef than stock. I'd much prefer to run the same compound on all corners though. Pagid makes an RS19, but that's not a good pad for heavy cars in my experiance, they tend to crumble.

Pagid RS19 pads are on a par with PF-01s. I think the Pagids may be more compatible with the stock pads as well. They are available for both front and rear, also. I'd go to PF-Z pads for street use if I use PF-01s on the track. PF-01s are definitely my favorites.
Regarding pad wear with stock calipers: Did you run the solid caliper bushings on your e46? They completely cure the uneven pad wear.
