Great SCOTT!
I have been a fan of Porterfield R4 compound pads since the mid 90's. The ceramic insulation keeps heat from the calipers and fluid. I agree with Randy that you can't get enough cooling. My car has to run the stock solid rotors and getting air to them is very important. Also I use the Ford high performance brake fluid. ~550degrees boiling point, readily available and in expensive. Change it often. G
I agree with Randy as well, that's why I think I need a lower range pad. Cooler is better for all the other parts in the system especially our tiny wheel bearings.
I've seen mixed reviews on the R4 pad but I'm always willing to try something new, especially if they're priced like Hawk or PFC ($110-149).
Thanks for all your feedback everyone!
