Totally agree and works for light track duty too. How much do the they dust or squeal on the street? I've only used them on track. For the RS3, if you do track days and hard driving, you could run the R4 up front and the R4S in the back for a nice balance of wear/performance. For my race cars, I run a Raybestos ST43 up front and the Porterfield R4 in the rear.

Car arrived at dealer 11/29/17.

Ive run them forever on 3 different M3's, no issues at all, light dust, no squeal noticed, we go to pagid yellow or black for track use, also have used the EBC Red pad for the street
