Brake Pad upgrade on the 1965
These pads are well-suited for street driving because they wear well, are easy on the ears, don’t chew up the rotors and don’t spew dust everywhere. They’re favoured for your average family saloon because they work well when they’re cold. Of course the drawback is that they don’t work so well when they get hot. This is a good compromise between street and track. These seem to be the pad of choice for sportier vehicles such as the Subaru Impreza WRX. They won’t work as well as organic pads when they are cold, so you need to be a bit wary of the first couple of stops. Conversely they do work well when hot. Occasionally the weak link in semi-metallic pads is the bonding material that holds the friction pad to the backing plate. There have been occasions where the friction material has come away completely. That’s infrequent though. Ceramic pads still have metal fibres (about 15% vs. about 40% for semi-metallic) but they are copper instead of steel and therefore cause less wear and transfer heat better. They don’t fade as easily as other pads, cool faster, last longer, and are effectively silent, as the sound they genereate is outside of the human range of hearing. Dogs will go crazy though. The dust created by ceramic pads is also very light in color so your wheels look cleaner.
The Porterfield Carbon Kevlar brake pad for over a decade has given racers abroad a definite world class friction material suitable for virtually any racing condition. Designed pecifically for heavy duty motorsports, Porterfield R-4 brake pad was our first and is our original carbon kevlar brake pad. Being able to maintain an average of .50 friction level within a very wide temperature range gives the R-4 pad astounding versatility, and makes it very suitable for a wide array of various track conditions. With use of the latest ceramic technology, the carbon based semi-metallic R-4 materials allow the pads to absorb tremendous amounts of heat and dissipate it at a very even rate, while at the same time insulating excessive heat from calipers. Another inherent characteristic of our carbon kevlar material is how quickly the pads warm up to race temperature, which is quite helpful during restarts, and when track time is limited. Optimum R-4 operating temperatures are 450 degrees F and above. When used with cast iron and steel alloy rotors, the R-4 compound requires minimal bed-in period. Throughout the entire heat range, the carbon kevlar material will give extremely consistent modulation and predictably smooth release characteristics up to threshold. Another benefit of our R-4 compound is that even with the high friction levels and broad temperature ranges, the unique properties of our compound allows the rotors life to be extended to the maximum. This is truly the most rotor friendly racing brake pad material ever. Road courses, oval track, rally, vintage racing, autocross, club events or professional racing events. Tested and raced in countless types of competition vehicles, the R-4 compound from the outset has established its reputation as a championship winning brake pad material.
