Cheapest online source for PORTERFIELD R4S???

I got mine direct from them...$200 for front and rears. Love that red dust.

Info:
 
Yep, red brake dust. Don't know why it's red, but my wheels don't look as dirty as quickly. I put them on a few months ago. Made the mistake of putting the rears on at a track event and failed to heat cycle them. Got the meatball flag bacause the course workers thought my rear brakes were on fire. Ooops.

Anyway, they stop much better than my old Redbox did. Little fade, and coupled with the stainless lines, they give very good pedal feel/feedback. They bite sooner, and fade less. The car just feels more solid when it stops...like I have more control. A buddy has the C-techs on his car(the soft ones)...they make a friggin mess of wheels. Oh yeah, the R4Ss squeel a tiny bit, occasionally. But not nearly as bad as the R4s race pads. And the car still wants to keep going in heavy rain ;^(

let things cool down checked the caliper for sticking pistons, everything OK!

Got to go out for the final runs!!!

and yes, the red dust is alot less frequent than OEM!

Very good Street / Track brake upgrade (w/ stainless lines)
