brake pads / got any suggestions?
I just ordered a new set of rotors from our host tonight but couldn't decide on the pads, my current set are textars t400
and they man do they squeal bad. There going on my 914 3.0 with 944t brakes, for aggressive street driving. Got any favorites that I might like

R4 are for track, RS4 for street/autocross. Over the BMW boards, they come highly reccommended too. PBR Metal Master are supposed to be 99% as good for 50% of the price, not sure if they have them for 911s though.

As Gus pointed out the Porter field R-4 is a full race carbon based semi-metallic pad. I've heard good things about them but never used them. Would like to though.

Correct lettering for the street pad is in fact R4-S. Here is what I found on their site: http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/cgi-bin/porterfield/pads.cgi
