So, its time to get some pads for me..

Who are available?
How much are they?
Who has them?
Why you like them? (in case you have used them)

[FT@SGP]

Porterfield R4S, excellent pad IMO.

NO! Do not get the porterfield R4-S. Maybe R4 for the track, but the R4-S are horrible on this car. Read this thread here:

After I wrote my input they just kept getting worse and worse until I finally gave up and went back to stock, and that's with over half the pad left. they were that bad, and to answer your questions, yes, I did bed them in properly. now don't get me wrong, they are great on my friend's M Roadster, and they are great on my Wife's Outback, but they are not a good match for this car. I'm thinking of trying the new ceramic EBC red stuffs or Hawk HP+ for this upcoming season. In regards to the porterfields, for the money I expected quite a bit more, and was rather disappointed.

Endless pads are great. Many compounds available for different applications.

Which is the best compond (Endless) for both street and track applications...I know there will have to be sacrifices, but all things connsidered...Thanks!

I think I met you at the D1, we ate at IHOP before teh event. I was in the dirty black STi and we talked about this very subject.


As for pads,

I just installed Endless SS-S's They are a street/light track pad. So far, they seem great. Not as loud as stock. The initial bite doesn't seem that much, but then just a little more pressure on the pedal and you'll have a very nice controlled braking. I haven't gotten on the brakes too much yet, but i will soon.

FYI:
I resurfaced my rotors, and in retrospec, i should have just replaced them. They are 30mm stock and the min is 28mm. After resurfacing, they were about 28.3mm. So to save you a little hassle, i'd reccomend just replacing the front rotors, rears should be fine w/o resurfacing.

Hey Reid! How ya' doing? You are correct, that was me at IHOP.

I'm glad you popped in here as I am considering pads for the upcoming autoX season. let me know when you get a chance to really get on those pads hard. I'd like to know how they do.

I would recomend the Super Street S pads for street and light track use.
