Brake pads

[Jaret Rapp]

This answer is going to date me, but doesn't this mailing list in general?   I am still running Repco Metal Masters.   I am almost certain they do not make them anymore, or at least Repco is not in business or in business by another name (Maybe DBA)? They were the pads to have as far as I can remember back in the day.  Came from Australia, lasted forever (literally in my case) , didn't stop for crap until they got heat in them. I know that probably doesn't help answer your question. BTW, BOO HISS to Nissan for not making practically anything for our cars now.   But they are putting the RB26 back into production.  -----Original Message-----

Subject: Brake pads

What are those of you still driving your SE-Rs using for brake pads? I've had a set of Porterfield R4Ses on the front for a million years, and it's time to replace them. For my use case, OE would be fine but Nissan doesn't sell pads for B13s any more, and they'd probably be overpriced anyway. I have no idea what is decent and what isn't when it comes to the (semi-metallic) options at my FLAPS. I do note that Porterfield still makes pads for the car, so there's always that. 
(after sitting for a couple of weeks, I pulled the car out one day last week only to hear an immediate brake-related rhythmic noise from the LF - took the wheel off and immediately saw that half of the friction material had broken off the backing plate and was sort of wandering around.)
