Brake Pad Recommendations for 89 Carrera Targa

Its been about 10 years since I replaced the Brake Pads and was wondering which Pad would be optimum for Street Driving that is a bit on the agressive side.

Thanks

Current Pads are Hawk

Vote number 3 for Porterfield R4S. I also have that pad on every other vehicle I own. (The Subaru was kind of dangerously low on bite until I switched out the cheap new pads the previous owner put in.)

They are on the west side of Placentia between 17th and 18th. Pop over at lunch time!

Yes.

(But you can only use it with leaky calipers!)

^^^, LOL.

BTW, fellas, they also carry the Orange heater exchanger to flapper box hose. Do a group buy, they sell in 6 foot sections.

Cool Brake Pads

I went ahead and ordered directly with Porterfield and they included a 10% discount for PCA members.

The beauty about this small transaction is the fact they are located 10 minutes from me.

Thanks for the recomendation.

Are these pads OK for track days? Are there pads that are more appropriate for the occasional track day?
