What's are the Best OEM 4pot brake pads under $100?
I've seen quite a few pads that are cheaper than the OEM 4 pot pads and was wondering which ones were the best for street and occational track use.
The pad's i seen are hawk, porterfield, and EBC are all under 1 bill and seem to be good choices.
I've heard good and bad things about the porterfield pads.
Hawk pads seem to be pretty good, but i do not know too much about them.
The EBC's eat rotors to my understanding.
If I had more money i'd get some Bozz speed stuff because they're so close to my home and have excelent performance.
I guess its hard say who's the best because i haven't tried any of them.
thanks

I may have misunderstood
what you were looking for. I thought you were looking for aftermarket pads better than OEMs for the 4pots and for under $100.
The PFC stands for Performance Friction Corp.
In terms of OEM pads for the 4pots, you have the standard pads and the more aggressive pink STi pads. The pink pads are definitely more than $100.

As I said above
Performance Friction Corp. Z-rated pads.
IMO you are not gonna find a better street/autox pad. They also make some of the best race pads in the world. They are not widely hailed in Subaru circles because they dont make pads for any of the current Subaru applications. You can only get pads for your 4pots beacuse they are identical to the brake pads on the 300z/3000gtvr.
Cost $63

The pink pads do eat up the rotors pretty quick. I have a set at home but never use them all that often. I use the stock STI pads that come with the calipers as they do not eat rotors alive. But I will say that the Pink pads definitely have a lot of copper in the compound and stop really well.
