Default Porterfield R4 pads are one of the best for track use.

I had C-Tech's on and wasn't really impressed w/the improvement over the stock pads. Actually, I believe there are more than one type of C-Tech. I think there are three different "flavors", one more street oriented, another more track oriented, and the third(if there is a third) is somewhere inbetween.

Do you just put on front, or do you recomend all 4 corners?

Default Only really needed on the front, but...

you might want to put them on the rear, too. The additional bite and performance gained may be enough to justify putting them in the rear, too. Probably better off for the brake bias. For track use I am now going to run them in front and rear, but they aren't the R4's. They "supposedly" are the same pad compound, though and supposedly made by the same company. Anyway, they are called Kerr Friction pads and they are available @WestonMotorsports.

Default This is what I was thinking of doing....

Putting R4S's on the rear all the time, and then swapping between the R4 and R4S depending on if I'm at the track or not.
