Default Suggestions for new brake pads...

looking for pads that are good for the street, but can still hold up on the track every once in a while.

Any suggestions?

Porterfield R4s work for me - I typically use plain R4 for the track though but have used the r4s at sebring too

How are these (or any other non-OEM pads) rated next to factory pads as far as mileage, or expected use time VS cost VS stopping capability VS ????
Has anyone done a spreadsheet on some of the typically used pads?
Does anyone have data that could be made into a decent spreadsheet?

I can certainly contribute the info on my experience w/ stock 84 coupe never driven on the track, but sriven w/ spirit on the road.
I'll check to see when they were last changed and see how many miles they lasted and how much is left, etc.

This should be interesting if enough people have data.
