2004 E55 AMG; 1995 Porsche 993 Cab.
Sitting in a box in my garage right now - originals will be changed out sometime..

I believe Jangy has them?? (or at least he used, and recommended, them).

I have the Porterfield RS4s and like them. Many are raving on the EBC reds, so I may give them a try at some point, but the performance on the Porterfields has been great.

Do they stop as good as oem? Do they make noise at all (break squeal)? Also where can i check out these EBC Reds?

+1...on for about a year on the 55. No complaints or concerns with them on...no squeaks. Also, Jerry @formymercedes.com has provided great customer service. I've been dealing with him for over 4 years, so he is reputable vendor.

They stop way better than OEM and also do not heat soak nearly as bad. Performance wise, the OEMs aren't even close. I have only had sporadic squeeking but generally quiet.

I dunno much about the EBCs other than they seem not to dust. If you want clean, give em a shot. If you want tight grip, I'd recommend the Porterfields.
