I understand both Active and ZAC use the same Japanese rubber.
We've found that tyre wear is about 30% better than GRP rubber and would expect the ZAC's to be similar.
The shore ratings seem to work a bit differently and we usually run the same shore front and rear, say 40 / 40 on a track with decent traction. Wear from F/R is quite consistant, using a one-way and rear diff. This is on a V-One-R.
Hope this is of some help.

The track I run on requires a lot of braking so the yellow pads smooth and progressive action help prevent brake spinouts.

i have the enneti disk (thanks to corse-r) and i have seen the mrx disk. I think the enneti is far more superior (one piece) and it is a bit lighter.

I finished the MTX-3 the other night. The only thing i have left to set is droop. I'll start break-in tonight.
I was very impressed with the way the car went together. I'm just worried that I didn't sand down the brakes pads enough, so I may take them out tonight and take a little more off of them.

The teflon brake pads are an optional item. Are REAL interesting if you run with foams and one-way (makes the braking less criticalal) now seemed weird that Mugen didn't trowed a set of teflon pads on their MTX3 makes the braking more progressive and easier.

Does the teflon brake pad, H0359 work with the MTX-3? SpeedtechRC has it listed as a MTX-2 part.
