Folks! Many thanks for the kindness shown in responding! It looks like Porterfield is the source for pads. The R4-1 Vintage racing pad is the one I chose. I’m running them at Laguna Seca with a little 340HP 289 Cobra with 25.5 x 8 x 15” Hoosiers, and will report how they behave. Those NOS Ferodo DS11’s are killer pads! I’ll be surprised if the R4-1’s equal the braking power of the Ferodo’s! I charged up the hill to Turn 7 just before the Corksrew and pulled my car into balance for 8A and B with confidence. The same was true with keeping the throttle floored under the bridge and half way up the hill to Turn one before braking hard and shifting into second for single apexing Turn 2. I would greatly appreciate a link to the Ferodo DS11 pad source! I found the Ferodo website, but they were offering a DS1.11 pad and did not offer the early Cobra/TR3A pad. Thanks to all!! Bob
