"Good" brake pads

Post by halberd » Fri Aug 10, 2012 9:00 pm

I just checked out my rear brake pads and there's virtually nothing left

What are some good brake pads for an NA I can chuck on? I heard OEM is good but if I can get more stopping power for a few extra dollars I'll probably go with that

For the rears, I would stick with OEM, get some good fluid and good pads up front and you'll be winning

Putting a plug in for the Porterfield R4S pads I'm selling.
I have been using them as a race pad, and they have great wear and stopping power, but they are actually rated as a street/track pad.
