I've heard alot of good news from EBC Greenstuff Pads ... they have a really good initial bite and are cheap.

Porterfields rock....

Given no limit on budget, that is where'd I spend my money. They are just expensive is all. But WELL worth it.

I had them on my B14, I think they were about $150 for all 4's. But they blew away Axxis pads....and don't squeak like Axxis either. Also much nicer to the rotors than Axxis. And last longer than Axxis. (If you can't tell, I don't care for Axxis pads).

Um....find a set of porterfields for all 4's for $120 for a B14. Notice I said B14, not S14. I've never priced out the S14 pads because I've never owned an S14.

Isn't that the general rule of thumb on nearly everything? For the most part, anyway.
