Default Anybody interested in Hawk Blue Race Pads for stock front brakes?

I got Porterfield to make them for me...now I sold my car...cost me $399, willing to part with them for less. Best offer takes. These are very very good pads folks...make the S4 brakes, using otherwise stock components, grab pretty nicely.

One last thing..they were used once at Laguna Seca Raceway for the Tracquest Driving Event. They are only about 5% gone.

Thanks

Default Custom brake pads...it was $379 for Porterfield Race R4 pads

They were out of those...so I got the Hawk Blues. If you have ever totally chunked your stock pads and warped your stock rotors within 40 minutes of participating in your first track event, you will understand that the Hawk Blue custom pads I got ARE an option. Would you rather pay $2,200 - $3,000 for a full front brake system upgrade?

They had to be custom made...hence the high cost. I didn't like paying $399 for them either.

So how much you are asking for them?
Need some stronger pad for the rear to balance out?
Any pics? Thx.
