Default Raybestos ST-45 vs ST-43

Anyone have experience with both? The fellow at Porterfield recommended ST-45 front and ST-43 rear. I am thinking of going with 43 front and rear as I don't need real high torque.

I've always run ST-43 front and rear without trouble on my 914s.

I ran 43's front and rear on my M3, worked fine. They bite, so I would try 43 all around first, then change if you want more front bias/bite.

same here. ST43. they bite quite well (I've never tried the ST45), and the one time I tried the ST41 it was TOO much initial bite/torque. I'd say try ST43 all the way around.

PS the ST43 are by far the longest lasting/most durable pads I've ever raced on. they are a little pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

Great. I think I'll start with the 43 compound then. Thanks for the advice.
