Porterfield R4-S High Performance Street Brake Pads - Rear: POR-AP279S

good call on the setup none the less its a very nice combination for sure

[triggrhaapi]

They're custom, because they don't make them currently, they just made me a one off set. I'm the first guy on the block to get em.

[gotKRAUT]

weird they have been making them for E30s for quite some time now through VAC motorsports...maybe they just wanted to make you feel special?

[triggrhaapi]

Whatever. They are fucking amazing. 60-0 has to be close to around 100ft. It throws shit from the back seat to the front.

[gotKRAUT]

umm lol if you couldnt do that with stock pads then you have problems

throw shit from back to front that is

Actually, the main problem wasn't the stock pads so much as the fact that the brake lines expanded like oprah when you stepped on it hard.

crazy....320,000 miles on mine now and still working great...none the less im going to steel brake lines in the immediate future

Old racer trick... skip the SS lines.. just use zipties every 1/2" up and down the brake lines.. works and feels exactly the same.

I have never seen a race car with zipties on rubber brake hoses. Unless by race car you mean redneck race car back south that only makes left turns on dirt ovals.

Old musclecar trick then I suppose. Learned it from an old guy at a mustang shop here in the valley.. said he and people he raced with used to do it alot to get better feel out of their old heavy cars braking systems.
