I have a stock 73 1.7 with a 19mm master. What pads should I use for the fronts? I am getting some squeal, so I want to change them out.

Also, if I can't get them from flaps, let me know a good source.

Thanks,
Joe

I bought mine from Pelican when I did the brakes. They were PBR organic pads and didn't squeal after I put them on. I don't know if you can get them at your flaps though.

BTW, didya get yor timing sorted out?

Don't get metallic to eliminate the squeal. Your car won't stop. Sometimes organic pads can squeal. Look for things like rusty pins and springs that pads can get hung up on. Repair, replate, replace...

R4-S High Performance Street and Autocross
   For high performance and heavy-duty street conditions. Perfect for prolonged everyday street use while also being capable of tolerating the most severe street use without any fade. Rotor friendly of course. The R4-S friction level will give you an impressive increase in stopping ability with very minimum pedal effort. R4-S compound has the absolute lowest noise and dust levels, far below OEM equipment or any other high performance brake material. Good for autocrossing, some drivers schools, solo events, and rally’s. The R4-S compound is available for virtually any vehicle sold in the US. We also offer the R4-S in pad sizes for competition type calipers that are used under street driven conditions.

Hawk HPS, pretty sure you can get them from either PP or perhaps TireRack.
