Autocross brake pads suggestion???

Does anyone have any suggestion or experience on some good brake pads for autocross use? I've heard Porterfield R4S and Mintex Redbox are good, which one is better? I don't care about the noise or brake dust.<ul><li><a href="http://www.geocities.com/whiteaudia4/home.html">My Homepage</a></li></ul>

Porterfield R4's are pretty nice once they get heated up

Are those R4S pads for street use and do not need ot heat up before they can bite well?

Not sure it makes a heck of a lot of difference

on most tracks you're not braking enough to get much heat generated so you want something with a pretty low temp range. Probably more important to have all the air out of the lines so the brakes hook up right away. I use the Mintex's.
