Your experience with after market brakes
I have the originals on the car and they need to be replaced.
Has anyone used EBC Reds?
Porterfield R4S?
Any other after market brakes?
I'm interested in your experience with stopping power, sensor interface and dusting.
Thanks

If you are just replacing the pads and want great performance and zero brake dust, the Porterfield R4S is a brillant pad.
If you are really wanting to take the braking to another level, Brembo makes a great set up. Before we became a dealer, I contacted them directly as I was experienceing some fade at the track, and they informed me that the Brembo OEM set up is good, but if you are going to be using them agrressively......there is a better solution. I tried it with the SL55........and now we are a dealer for Brembo. It was another level of performance.
....And since we specialize in making them 'go'......I feel that it just as important (if not more), that they stop!

With the sensors isolated, do you get a full time brake warning light?
