Anyone using Toyota 4x4 calipers and race pads?  If so what pads are you using and where did you get them?  Thanks.

All I can say is that suppliers like Carbotech  http://www.ctbrakes.com/ will make up pads for you if they don't have stock. I've used their XP10 compound and found it very good if you like true race performance from your brakes.

Try cut down early model mazda RX7 pads.

I am now sold on CarboTech pads for my 240 race car and I'm in the process of getting some truck pads made up.

Good, which compound did you get?

You can get proper Toyota racing pads through the guys at Porterfield and I also sell a great pad through my shop at Classic Datsun feel free to call me if you wish at 7609406365

+1 on the Porterfield pads.  They will make them for the Toyota pattern.

In my part of the world the brake problem for S30's involves the historic race class where they are restricted to original brakes. Both pads and rotors have to be replaced after every meeting due to extreme use. There are lots of different brand brake pads, the thing is which one has been proven to best handle this situation? And rotors too, they have to be plain faced.

My race Z has the Toyota calipers on it. I have pads custom made using sintered iron (Velvetouch). Same material that is usd on 747 commercial airliner brake pads. The material is easy on rotors, and has no binders that require setting or bedding in. They are ready to go right out of the box. And they work just as good on the first stop, all the way to the last millimeter of material.
