I want to know how you got them so cheap. I would have bought a set if i could have found them for that little.

I use HT-10 pads, they take a while to warm up but I love them once they are. Don't try Blues, they eat rotors

Hmm, I just looked at the cost for pads for your caliper. 4x as expensive as for mine :cry: I guess thats one of the nice things about using a universal caliper like I have.

I've heard good things about Porterfield RS4 pads. That is what I plan to put on my 99, not sure the cost though.

I think Geoff recommended them a while ago.

I bought mintex redbox pads the other week anyway. Just a normal street pad, OEM replacement type shit but less dust. I just didn't want to shell out for expensive pads at the time. Next time tho.

yeah, I used the Porterfield R4S pads on my street/TSD SPG. When I first put them in they were rad. Really strong even before they were warmed up. After a while they turned kind of weak (like MetalMasters). I ordered another full set for my '80 99 and when I did I asked about the problem I had. The girl I spoke with said that I needed to bed them in slowly with no hard braking over the first 1000 miles. I never got a chance to try them out with that bed-in procedure because the )&*%)& engine is messed up.

1000 mile bed-in with no hard breaking? That would be really hard to handle...

I'd never make it that long without hard braking, too many douche bag assholes 'round here.

yeah, that procedure seemed strange to me. I never got a chance to try it out though. Maybe one day I'll get that car going again.

Normal break in procedures are like what, 60 with a hard brake a few times, then 50 hard brake, 40 hard brake, 30 hard brake, etc?

yeah, thats similar to what I did when I put the first set of Porterfields on. I think I did 30 with a moderate stop, 30 with a hard stop, 45 with a hard stop, and I think I did 60 twice with hard stops then let it cool.
