Yeah I read up on them , looked for friction rating of the pads I have now. Under specification they list best, best and best.

What is that BS , best is not a specification.




I made a thread on that subject:

Larry did you read about the R4-1 pads ?

I did but chose the R4S for the low brake dust. I have about 8000 miles with them and no brake dust problems.

I use R4-S pads on one of my modern cars (BMW Z4M coupe) and have been quite happy with them. On the other (which is lighter and has more bhp - 2375 vs. 333) I use EBC Red Stuff. Both are a level down from a track pad and are quite adequate for very spirited street driving. The EBC in particular are low dust ceramic based and seem a perfect fit.

Last time I looked (when I still owned my turbo 88 Fiero) EBC didn't make anything but Green Stuff for our cars and I do not recommend those.
