>>>Factory brake pads cost a fortune and also suck. They are rock-hard and
only work when red-hot. You can put a set on your car and drive on 'em for
20 years, they'll never wear out. Of course, they won't stop the car when
cold either.
Per our posts of the past few days, go with Porterfield. Probably a bit more
than $100 for the fronts and perhaps a bit less for the rears, the R4-S
compound is perfect for a performance street car that sees occasional track
use.
