Default performance brake pads for C4

need some help on this please. My C4 (85 Z51) is currently running stock brakes (with steel lines, fluid, brake ducting, and pads). Currently I'm using Porterfield R4's that are pretty much done and I'm finding out now that aftermarket pads are becoming pretty scarce to find. Hawk only lists blues for my car. I can't get R4's where I am.

Can you post what you have found and use for this setup for the track and where you got them please? I'm planning a brake upgrade but its just not in the works right now, in fact, I'm finding my current setup works not bad for this season by inspecting and changing calipers if needed and generally keeping the brakes in good condition.

Contact CF member Carbotech Adam who is a CF Supporting Vendor. Many people use Carbotech pads and he has a number of choices for street, autocross and track use.
