What front pads for a 510?

Hawk Blues are no longer available for a 510. That is what I have always ran and been quite happy with. The only thing I can now find is a Porterfield R4. How do these compare?

Does anyone think this would this be enough to appeal to run a different front brake setup if the R4's do not compare?

Thanks, Matt

Sad for us old car Hawk Blue Pads users.

Carbotech will take car of you. They make all pads--although you may have to give them your backing plates.

Cheers.

I called Carbotech yesterday and they said no. Maybe I should call back and be more persistant? What do they charge you and do I need to remove the remaining old pad first?

Thanks for the feedback.

They said "No"?? As in "not in stock"?

I know for a fact that they will "Custom" make pads in your choice of Panther compounds and that they usually are able to source backing plates.

Figure around $160 a set plus cores; maybe more.

WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU ASK THEM AND WHAT WAS THEIR RESPONSE??
