Question Porterfield R4-S Pads
Has anyone tried these lately and been happy? Do they now have the sensor hole?

Looking for some feedback as these pads direct from Porterfield are $379.95 front and $129.95 rear.

Thanks.

I had them on my E55- excellent feel and durability plus much less dust.

Did you have any problems with them going on OEM rotors and sensors?

They don't have accommodations for the sensors.

No problems, Evosport in Huntington Beach did the install. I then switched the rotors but the sensors were fine. I do think the tech there did a small modification to make it work.

Anyone know if they will fit the Brembo GTs?
