You want the fronts to lock first... The rears locking first would be a very bad thing, and would probably throw you into a spin...

Pads are not going to change the fact that the fronts are locking. If you run a pad with a higher level of friction, the fronts will just lock up even sooner. This is a big reason why people don't recommended true race pads unless you have a good feel for threshold braking. I'd work on better braking technique, and learning to feel out the threshold where the brakes are locking... The rear in our cars with stock bias only does about 29% of the stopping.

Usually a street pad will drop in friction as they heat up, race pads will rise slightly to a certain level and then maintain friction levels.

I have no ABS, and I rarely lock the tires under braking unless the track is wet, or I'm really pushing it and brake late, which I view as a mistake, not a shortcoming of my brake setup...
