All you racers/De guys out there.
For track applications, do you prefer the Pagid RS14 or the Porterfield R4 compounds. I have used the Pagids in the past, and a set lasts about 4-5 track days, and are rotor friendly, but they run around $155 a set. The Porterfield i don't know, but run around $110 a set. I am looking for any words of advice. Thanks. |

I've run Pagid Orange and Porterfields and I'd have to echo that the Porterfields are make more noise. They seem to make more noise on heavier cars (911's!) but after I put my 914 on a diet the squeaking went away.
I'm getting 18 track days out of a set. That is with a 2 driver car, although my wife is easy on the brakes compared to me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I ended up using the R4's because of the cost difference and the fact that they felt fine to me. Thanks, Bill P. |
