    I put the R4S pads from Porterfield on my 456M and they are fantastic. I only changed out the Pagid pads because they would squeak like crazy. The added benefit of these pads is that the Kevlar Carbon formula seems to have much less brake dust. It's a huge difference. Also not even the slightest squeak. On my 355 the exhaust is so loud that I have no idea if they squeak, but I may change them out as well just to have less dust.

    Interesting. I'll keep it in mind when I come round to it.

    I used Porterfield R4S pads on the cars I tracked in the past (Toyota MR2 MKII and Datsun 240Z), in my opinion they are very good brake pads. I originally bought R4 pads; they lasted about one month on the street since they don't get hot enough for the compounds to bind together at street speeds. Then I switched to R4S pads; they work just as well on the track as R4 pads, work very well on the street, and last a long time.
