Porterfield R4S pads blow out!



Porterfield R4-S High Performance Carbon Kevlar Brake Pads

The original caborn kevlar street pad:

These pads are an ideal balance between race pads and street pads. The Porterfield R4-S’ are unique because they’ll withstand 20 minutes of track time with no fade (they so not fade at temperatures up to 1,100 degrees F) but at the same time, they will work fine when cold and they’re very rotor friendly (as well as being very slow wearing). The R4-S friction level will give you an impressive increase in stopping ability with very minimum pedal effort. The R4-S compound also has the absolute lowest noise and dust levels, far below OEM equipment or any other high performance brakes material. Good for autocrossing, drivers schools, weekend track sessions, solo events, and rallys

Front set, $195 Free shipping!!

Rear set, $70 Free shipping!!

COMBO ( front and rear ) Price : $260 FREE SHIPPING!

Add Goodridge brakelines for only $355!!!


Please give me a call to order!

Thank you,

Cal

Hi,

All aftermarket pads will have a lil squeak here and there. We have had good experience with both Porterfield RS4 and Endless SSS pads. I am currently running the SSS on my Evo without any problem on track/street. My coworker is using RS4 in his Sti with no issue. At last, it is critical to bedding in the pads properly in order to maximize the potential of the pads.

Thanks,
Tom

I've always had good luck with the R4S pads, usually quiet too.
