Since I have rebuilt my rear calipers it seems like a logical time to consider changing pads too. Yes, I know I should change the fronts too if I do that.
I am familiar with the Porterfield R4S pads, which I had on my M3 for a while. I took them off because they have poor cold (first stop in the morning or after 15 min of non-use) performance compared to OEM BMW pads. However, I don't know how they compare to the stock Girling pads.
How do they compare to the stock Girling pads re rotor wear and braking force upon application when they are cold?
I am aware of the fact that they have to be properly bedded in or they will squeal.
Who has the best price on Porterfields? The company itself or a retailer?
