For my track setup I'm also running Hawk HPS pads out rear, very similar to the characteristics of the R4-S. I've run the R4-S before and prefer the Hawks.

I run Bobcats front and rear on my car on the street and on the track. I think they're great, low dusting and quiet. They bite well on the street and amazed me on the track at Thunderhill with their fade resistance. I was on them all session long and they never gave out.
Pros: low dusting, quiet
I just installed Hawk HPS pads front and rear about week and a half ago. I did a 300 mile drive up in the twisty mountains here over the weekend and absolutely love the pads. No noise, very little dust, good feedback, cheaper than the Porters.
Pros: No noise, good feedback
Cons: very little dust
I'm getting some Alcon's for my car in the not too distant....
944 Turbo brakes are definitely a step up from standard 928 brakes, they are all aluminum 4 piston jobs front and rear.
Pros: aluminum 4 piston
I am personally a big fan of my EBC Redstuff pads.
Pros: big fan
I must say I am very happy with the bite and performance of the pads. Vast improvement over stock. Made more dust in the beginning, but now its fine.
Pros: vast improvement over stock
Cons: more dust in beginning

Brakes were excellent. The pedal was rather easy to push down on with little feedback, but the brakes were very powerful feeling, smooth, and the car stopped straight. Modulation was easy to control. I tried a hard stop and did not provoke the ABS system, nice it only comes into play when I need it.
Pros: powerful feeling, smooth
Cons: little feedback

Acabei de instalar algumas pastilhas Hawk que não vieram com o sensor e o som de aviso e a luz já estão começando a me deixar um pouco louco.
Pros: pastilhas Hawk instaladas
Cons: som de aviso irritante
Driving home today, and I had to brake HARD to avoid a collision, the fade was awful - the pedal went straight to the floor - no ABS activation, NOTHING... Got home and the fronts are SMOKING, and the rears are completely toast - I mean GONE - there is almost NO friction material left, and a PILE of it on my wheels... These had seen NO track usage, and NO abuse in the last thousand miles... thanks a lot MINTEX - you've made an angry customer for life...
Cons: awful fade, pedal to floor
Mileage: 1000 km
