R4S or R4 pads?

[SNK BIT in WA]

Hello,
If you even go on the track once you WILL want the R4, NOT the R4S.
It went through one set of R4S's in one day at the track; they were completely gone by the end of the day.
As far as the dust I now have at least two good coats of Zanio on the wheels and they wash up very easily. I know others have mentioned some other pads having very little dust but I don’t recall if that was on the track on not.

Hi y'all:

- I brake aggressively, to the point that my stock brake pads fade, should I opt for the R4 pads instead of the R4S pads?<FONT COLOR="Red">In hard track use or high sustained braking, Stock pads last longer, shed less dust, and fade less than the R4-S pad. If you want to fix fade under agressive braking do not go with the R4-S. Normal street driving with R4-S is less dust and less noise than stock and ok wear</FONT c>

- Will the race R4 pads eat through my stock rotors? <FONT COLOR="Red">Not with street use, but with track use they can heat up a rotor enough to crack it if you don't cool the rotor down right.</FONT c>

- Do the R4 pads produce a lot more brake dust than the R4S pads? <FONT COLOR="Red">YES, unless you're melting down the R4-S pads on a track or sustained hard braking, then they shed dust like crazy and wear out very quick</FONT c>
