My experience with carbon pads (performance friction) which I assume is what the porterfields are is that they are awesome, but only when HOT. At normal temps they are no different than std pads. Correct me if I am wrong about the porterfields.


Performance friction versus portefield:

every different brand has different compounds.
In fact many brands offer different compounds within their own brand.

Portefield makes a street and a track version.
the street version works much better cold.

I use cool carbon on my race car and have tried 3 different compounds from them.

lots of difference in the compounds.

I think pads and fluid can make stock brakes into awesome brakes!

What is the preferred Porsche option for vented rotors? 911, SC, 944, or other? I believe I have 80's SC, but spec to verify. Is there a tech page with specs avail?

It is a little hard to see in the pictures....but are the Volvo 240 calipers aluminum or cast iron? I wonder what they weigh compared to a stock 914 caliper, a Porsche M caliper, or BMW caliper.

What if I wanted to use a Porsche 911 strut with the 3 inch bolt spacing (for M calipers) but with the Volvo calipers intead of the M? Will the calipers fit over the vented Porsche rotors? What model car has the ones that will fit. The parts counter guys always want make, model, year, etc.
