Hi Dan,
Our 914-6 that you drove had 911T front brakes and 944S rears with Porterfield R4's. I really liked the Porterfields. I'll try them on Fritz as well. Bill P. |

I like the feel of the Porterfields on stock 914 calipers all around.
Surprising stopping power. On track I find myself braking way earlier than I need to. I haven't got that figured out yet. What I'm saying is, these brakes are better than I think. KT |

Ive used all three choices, well, Hawk blue, Porterfield R4, and Pagid Orange.
Ive wanted to try the R4E but havent got around to it yet. In all Ive settled on using the Hawk blue pads. |

How streetable are these choices...

Hi Dan!
I'm running the same caliper setup as you are and all of my heat and fading problems went away when I switched from porterfields to pagid orange. Happy Holidays! Greg |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Track pads are not good for street as the pads need to heat up to work --

the noise and the heat are not an issue since this car will be pretty much a dedicated track car.
I have used Pagids before on my 300hp 944 turbo track car and PBRs and Pagids on my 914-6 2.7L RS track car As well as Pagids on two different Carreras. So I am familiar with their various characteristics. Just wanted some feed back on what was being used successfully at this time. Pagids are pretty tough to beat but you do pay dearly$$$ for their performance. Mintex actually has a very similar pad as well. I have been thinking of running Pagid Orange up front and a more intermediate pad on the rear, using a T instead of the stock prop valve. I want to keep the bias up front. Greg are you running the Pagid orange front and rear? Ken you are running Pagid orange up front and something else on the rear? Thanks |

Pagid Orange front, Pagid Black rear. This is with SC (A) brakes up front, 914-4 front calipers in the rear, and a tee.
I used the Porterfield R4 on my previous 914 w/ stock brakes. Both pads are very effective. The Porterfields are noisier. |

I use the Hawk blue. They have worked very well for me this season, with a lot of heavy braking at high-speed tracks (i.e. cal speedway). I'm getting good life out of them and they're not tearing up the rotors. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

We have ran 3 events in the Boxster with multiple drivers on the Mintex C's. I like them. next up for the Boxster (today).. is Pagid Orange. I honestly dont care for the intial bite they have over the Porterfield. I want a car that is not abrupt on intial contact. I feel it upsets the car too much. I like the way the Porterfields come on (especially in a NON ABS car) Some of the discussion so far (my post included) comes down to what YOU like. Not what other people like. B |
