Heard some squeeling when backing out of my driveway yesterday, so I yanked the front wheels off and the squeelers are touching on my right front wheel. Time for new pads and turning the rotor, this has been a very hard 10,500 miles.


Any suggestions on pads?? I am keeping the stock rotors for now.

Just stay away from SBS they suck squeal like a pig and way dirtier then stock. I have Portfield R4S pads and they work good for me.

Porterfield R4-S for better than stock performance but I would go with the Carbotech Bobcat in your climate.

Where can you get the Portfield R4S pads and how much are they?

Good question. I have Baer rotors on order front and rear. Anyone know which is the best rear pad set with minimum dust? (Or has grey brake dust instead) :thumbsup:

That is what is on my car. All SN-95 Cobras have the same rear brakes set-up including the 00R. All-95 Cobras except the 00R have the same front brake set-up.
