DeTomaso Mailing List: April 2000, Message #290

I third this.  I  recently switched my "95 BMW M3's front pads to
Porterfield R4S because I got tired of having filthy front wheels every 3
days.  They work great and what little dust I am seeing is probably just
from the road.  My Pantera has two calipers on each rear wheel, and already
has what I call "violent" stopping power; but the Porterfields would
probably improve it further.
