Porterfield CF pads: lasted 6 months on the 82 roc. Street and autox use.
Ferrodo's street pads on the 82: 1.5 years. Street and autox use.
Ferrodo's race (D539FS) pads on the 82: 1 year so far. DD Street and
autox use.
Ferrodo's street pads on the 84: 1.3 years. Street and autox use. (Wife
is hard on brakes.)
Ferrodo's race (D539FS) pads on the 84: Put them on this saturday at the
track.  DD Street, autox and road racing use. 

I want to try the Carbotech Panther pads next. Have heard great things
about them. Im very happy with the Ferrodo's so far, drove the shit out
of the 84 this weekend and up until I ran out of brake pad on the RF they
were great. Changed pads in the afternoon and ran them all day on sunday
which only got better and better. No brake fade EVER and I had to do ALOT
of late, late braking to get past some of the VR6's out there.

Anyways....
