Porterfield option for Emira? (Or later Evoras, too...)

[Last ICE]

I just installed and test drove the Porterfields. I have Porterfields on front, Hawk Ceramic on the rears. These new pads are FAR less grabby than the factory pads. Its a huge improvement in drivability.

And the dust?

And the dust?

I only put about 30 miles on them so far, but very little dust. I will need more time with them before I'm able to really confirm.

What compound did you go with?

What compound did you go with?

The Hawks are “Z” compound and the Porterfield are the R4-S compound

And the dust?

Ive now put on about 100 miles, with some spirited driving. I'd say the dust is roughly about 20% of what I used to get. Its a huge improvement.

Just went stuff it, do it properly and ordered the Street and Track pads with the BSPK Carbon Cermaic Kit

Anyone know actual part numbers for Portfield brakes that fit our Emiras (or, as I understand it, later model Evoras)? I have heard tales of them making ones which fit these AP calipers, but finding the verifiable, correct part number has been surprisingly difficult (ESPECIALLY when <rant> AI feeds g00gle search results hallucinated information that is 100% incorrect <rant over>).

I am currently using EBC Red Stuff in front and Hawk ceramics on rear. (I received Hawks for the rear, couldn't return them, but Hawk has been on backorder for the from for months, so tried EBC). I changed from OEM pads because they're so grabby and hard to modulate in daily city driving.

Even after hundreds of miles, while the EBCs feel better, they're a squealy, noisy mess in traffic (and the Hawks aren't especially quiet, either). Both are WAY noisier than OEM.

In the past, I had put Porterfield RS-4 on a previous car ('20 Aston Vantage, bc its OEM pads were INSANELY squealy/noisy). I loved them, so hoping to get a set so I can have both quiet AND smoother city braking.

(Also open to recommendations for a quiet, less grabby pad from other manufacturer... I don't care about dust at this point, and will change out if I go to track).

You said you have EVC reds in the front and Hawks in the back. In terms of brake dust, do you see more in your front wheels than on the back? Or would you say they are equally low in dust?
