Re: Ereminas pads

[Alan Lambert <gerard@xxxxxxx>]

Let me give a yes vote to Don's answer. I switched from Metal-Masters to 
Porterfield R4S (their street/track compound) in my Spider. Stops 
faster--heats less--doesn't require warm up before taking hold. I don't 
think I'll be using anything else. ( except maybe their race compund on 
track days.)
