Looking for new brake pads.

Looks like the axis metal masters and porterfields are the most popular here.

What pads have you used and whats your impression....

Porterfield R4S:

Dust A Lot But Cleans Easily
Excellent Braking
Easy on Rotors

Very happy overall.

Sounds like that is what I will go for. Axxis seem like they are hard on rotors.

The porterfields list for about $90 for the front. Mind if I ask where you got yours and how much. PM if you don't want to post.

woosh

do a search on hawk quiet stop, HPS i think. A few ppl here have good things to say about them.

Some ppl like raybestos also.

I just installed these on my rear's and it made a hella difference from stock. And I don't/shouldn't have to worry about noise. As soon as my fronts wear out I will be putting these up front also.

I got mine direct from Porterfield. I believe they have an ongoing discount for .ORG members, just tell them that 's how you found out about them. With the discount, I did better direct from Porterfield than from the distributor they recommended to me at first . . . I don't remember exactly what I paid . . . maybe about $160 for front and rear?

I think porterfield makes raybestos and hawk as they are all on the porterfield site. Good to know.
