Hey Tom, can you switch from R4-S to a set of R4 pads without having to rebed?
I'm in need of new brake pads on both my cars (the Chevelle and my Subaru STI) and I need street compounds for both plus a track compound for the STI (and eventually a track compound for the Chevelle.) Being able just to swap pads and go would be nice. I know Carbotech advises you can swap their pad compounds and not have to re-bed, can you do that with the Porterfields?
Also, how's the dust on the R4s? Is it corrosive? I'd rather not eat my wheels up as I don't have a set of track-only wheels for either car.
Finally, what's your opinion on the Carbotech compounds in general? I was also considering Bobcats for the street and probably Panther Plus for track duty.
