Who has the best price on Porterfield pads?

Time to order pads for teh LeMons car, need some R4E's. Who's cheapest?

Do I really need to ask this???

Make, Model, Year????????

I thought the cheapest source for the P-fields was direct from P-field.

Another hodgepodge. 1987 Acura Integra calipers (D334 FMSI).

Rev, is this Porterfield's own sales site? http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/ Reason I ask, this site sells Porterfield, Hawk and Performance Friction. There was a link on the LeMons site to Livermore Performance, they were selling Porterfields about $30 cheaper.

With NASA membership you get 20% off Porterfield and Hawk pads directly from http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/ - The free subscription of GRM notwithstanding, the membership more than pays for itself the very first time you buy a set of race pads.

In case you DON'T have a NASA membership you might want to shop around, I just noticed that Top Brakes has better prices on Porterfield pads than Porterfield: http://www.topbrakes.com/carSeriesDetails.php?car_id=12816&series=Porterfield%20R4-S http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/product_info.php?productID=3621

Side note, I have Carbotech street pads on my X-Type right now and I'm not all that impressed with them. Wet performance is horrible and the initial bite, even when dry, leaves a lot to be desired. Is it worth it to give the R4-S's a try? Occasional HPDE, maybe an autox or two.

R4s is the best street pad I've ever used and won't buy anything else. My life is simple now, R4S for street car, R4E for rallycar, (/decision)

which Carbotech are you running ? I've used the (old name Bobcat+) for a-x (finally wore them out on track) on my Integra.

and now use XP 10's on my CRX (used up a set of XP 8's) I really can't imagine pads that could be any better ( a little dusty.. but hey... )

The street pads, entry level. Non-auto-x. My car is a little heavier than yours, too.

Thanks Jay_W.

ya... they make pads for the heavier cars... just don't know if they have any they would recommend for street only use...

R4s are pretty good... but... if you are in a cold climate may I recomend Project Mu NS pads...

SUPERIOR cold bite(better than OEM maybe????) still hold up to HPDE

I can't find any Project Mu pads for a Jaguar.

I found R4E's at Livermore Performance for $169.00 + $8 flat rate shipping.

Nice! Time to see what they have for Jaaaaaags.

"X Type 02-04 AP910 $101" Nice. Cheaper than Topbrakes.com... Thanks for the tip! Time to replace the (new) Carbotechs.

On edit: Topbrakes has free shipping on orders over $100 so that makes them most winnerest.
