Hi All:
So as a quick summary for someone reading this string in the future and looking for help or some confirmations:
1- Pic of old pad backs shows what happens to some anti-squeal material after years of heat.
2- Pics of caliper pistons/seals show what good (but old) seals look like.
3- Porterfield 4RS pads- per companies info….initial squealing disappeared quickly after normal
driving.The typical bedding process was NOT needed. In fact it was way less than 100 miles. Have
to also say in normal spirited street driving… I haven’t seen a “significant” difference in brake
performance in these pads and the standard (and less expensive) pads I’ve had over the years.
However…I get the sense nailing the brakes @ 90-100 mph the pads will happily perform.

Regards,
JT
