Default Replacing pads, front or front and rear?

Those of you who got Hawk HPS (slash other) to lessen the dust, did you replace both the front and rear, or just the fronts? I suppose it can't hurt to do the backs too, though they aren't as dusty as the fronts so I'm not sure if it's worth it and needed.

Yup, did both front and rear w/ Hawks. BTW, for me the rear stock pads seemed to be as dusty as the fronts.

I bought both front & rear but only have only installed the fronts so far. I do think the front/rear balance is off now. I get front ABS action in very hard braking with none in the rear, it was more balanced before. We are going to have nice weather this weekend so I will put the rears on. I think it is best to run the same pads all around.

I put the rears on last weekend and the brake balance is back to normal. Definately do all 4.

Thanks for the comments Bertg and dr_gallup (and for your followup dr_gallup). I'll just do all four and be done with it.
