So I have 300zx brakes on my 240 and was lookin into getting Hawk Ceramics for the front and something not so expensive for the rear. Any problems with different pads in the back?

Not at all. A lot of people purposely use different compounds to fine tune bias.

I prefer to use Metal Master pads up front for the heat and Mintex Red box pads for the rear for extra bite. The rears take a lot less abuse and don't need as hard of a compound.
