Now that's a brake upgrade!

Steven,

The cool thing is they seem to stay just that nice. I put mine on two years ago when I coaxed him into doing Datsun brakes, they still look just like that after a few track day romps. Prior to that, he had only done Porsche, Ferrari and other exotics. He does prefer Porterfield R4S pads for street cars driven in a 'sporting' manner so it is a possibility... They are a little more but not as much as some of the more race type pads.

Wow those look outstanding!

Rob -- I picked up '69 911T, and I'll be sending my brakes to Eric in the near future. Thanks for all the help! A 'storage' find, and great deal.

Cool! If it needs any restoration, you know your way to Mark's shop. I think he has had his nose into every nook and cranny of the Porsche cars earlier than 1990.

When you call Eric to have your brakes done, tell him Rob says you're a midget with really tiny hands that make it easy for you to get at all the little parts in the Porsche braking system. Rob also says collect teletubbies. Oh, and tell him I said his real name is Erc...

We're good friends if you can't tell...

Are both of you running Porterfield rear shoes as well? If so are they the R4S? How are your rotors/drums lasting?

[Zedyone_kenobi]

I am running the 'performance' street shoes sold by MSA in the rear. They have been to three track days and the 1000 mile rally and are still looking fine. I would like to upgrade to the porterfield shoes if they made them one day

[conedodger]

Steven and Mitchell, Porterfield does make our rear shoes in the R4S combo. I got mine through Eric. He is a Porterfield dealer. I don't think he advertises Datsun stuff on his site but call him, he'll give you a gooood deal!

I'm going to talk to him about doing a group buy on calipers... He might require 10 or 20 sets for a discount but I'll ask for you guys...
