Does anyone know a good place to get Porterfield brake pads?
I'm looking for a set of R4S for street and a set of R4 for the track.
Also, has anyone found cross drilled or slotted rotors for an e46 330?

I ordered mine direct from Porterfield. They give a 20% discount if you're a member of Suzy's digest. Maybe also for BMWCCA members.
R4S pads are great for street/track. I may try a set of R4 pads for my next track adventure.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is Suzy's Digest?:D

Suzy's digest is a group of BMW enthusiasts. It's like a forum but in e-mail format. I believe it's unique to E36 M3s, but there may be more than one digest. Tends to be more technical and bling is not encouraged.

I like that, I'll have to check it out.
Good rec. on Porterfield. They do give a 20% discount to CCA members. I pass by Costa Mesa (Porterfield factory) on my way to Laguna this weekend, I'll pick some up.
I 'm not sure if I'll get the R4's or just the R4S's.
I have EBC's (which I hate) on my car now. I haven't had any brake fade at the track with these so far. I may use them this weekend and put the R4S's on when I get home.
Or maybe I should run up and get the R4's and bed them in before this weekend. Too much to think about.
