Porterfield R4-S
I've only used them for about 300 miles, but they are great. Just an option for you. http://www.porterfield-brakes.com They don't have it listed for the solara, but e-mail them and they'll give you part numbers.

Same here. I love them. If you burned up your EBC, these are definately for you.

Greenstuff is good, other than the funky smell :lol:

, Redstuff isn't really a long life street pad, at least that is how I read the EBC site. Porterfields are supposed to good, as are Hawks. Alot of what a good pad is depends on your driving style right? At least this is what I had been leaded to believe by all the different heat ranges pads come in.

haha. well im sure some people on this board know how my driving style is.

i guess im going to try the porterfields. R4S it is... i wonder if they can match the power of EBC red.

I don't think it'll even be close (with the Porterfields outmatching the EBCs)

I've never used the EBC reds but I know that the porterfields are excellent in terms of braking power and fade
