Brake Pads

Post by EJ333 »

What would you recommend for brake pads for use with slotted rotors for regular street use ?

Stock 510 front discs? Porterfeld's street pad.

^Agreed! I just recently installed a set in my car, front pads and rear shoes. On stock brakes. Unlike the garbage from the local auto parts store the shoes installed in minutes, no grinding required and the pedal feel is vastly improved! So worth the money! I bought there S4 pads.

Are those S4 pads dusty? I've heard it bothways and not sure which to believe.

They seem to make the same amount of dust as my old pads.

Looked up the Porterfelds on Amazon. So many choices of S4. Can you direct me to which ones would work for my stock front disks with slotted rotors ? Thanks
