Description
The Porterfield Front Pads for the RX8 are precision-engineered brake components designed to optimize braking performance for both street and track applications. Available in two distinct compounds—R4-S for high-performance street use and R4 for dedicated motorsport—these pads cater to the needs of automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike.
- R4-S Compound: Ideal for high-performance street conditions, offering excellent stopping power with minimal fade.
- Rotor-friendly design that minimizes wear on brake rotors while delivering low dust and noise levels.
- Longer lifespan compared to OEM pads, ensuring durability without compromising performance.
- R4 Compound: Specifically designed for motorsport, maintaining a .50 friction level over a wide temperature range.
- Fast warm-up time, beneficial for limited track sessions or restarts.
- Optimal operating temperature of 450°F and above, suited for use with cast iron and steel alloy rotors.
The R4-S is perfect for daily driving and spirited runs, while the R4 excels in high-boost builds, time attack, and competitive racing scenarios. These pads require minimal bedding for R4, ensuring immediate effectiveness. Both compounds are crafted from advanced Carbon Kevlar materials for exceptional performance. Note that the R4 compound is not suitable for street use due to increased dust and noise.
