RS4 Pads (Page 1/1)
hunter29 MAY 18, 09:38 PM
All the reading I have done suggests this is the most aggressive pad available for pre 88 Fieros.

I am considering them, the question I would like opinions on is what rotors to use ? Standard or drilled slotted,

I have read the pros and cons.

What do you guys think?

Some say they squeal too ?

I have Porterfield RS4 pads on my Indy since I restored it.
I kept all other brake parts standard. Have put 10,000 miles on them.

The Porterfield pads work great, never fade, are quiet and low dusting.
Highly recommended.

Thanks, but do they stop much better than other pads ?

I think they do. Do you plan to auto-cross/race or just drive normally on the street/highway?

My GT has 11.25" Lebaron rotors, Blazer M/C and Wagner Thermo Quiet brake pads.
Great braking! But a lot of work and $$ to make the switch.

I have RS4 pads on my Indy with stock hardware.
I haven't noticed any lack of braking compared to my GT (no "driving bad brakes car today" when switching cars...)
I certainly have never had the "running out of brake" feeling on a hard stop since I switched to Porterfield pads.

Maybe someone else can chime in.
Others are running Porterfield too.
