I've been running on the Apec pads for 18months now and am very happy with them. Performance wise, I haven't noticed any difference from the OEM pads but they definitely produce much less dust.

I've had my R4-S's Porterfields in for 4 years.
They do take a smidge to come up to temperature which could be a little disconcerting if someone did a brake test in front of you, but the lack of any dust is a blessing.

If anyone wants a fresh set of OEM pads all round, can have them for now't!

R4-S High Performance Street and Autocross – For high performance and heavy duty street conditions, the R4-S compound remains a top performer in the realm of street/performance brake pads. Perfect for everyday street driving while also being capable of enduring the most severe street use without fade. It is rotor friendly, low dust and squeal. We have gone to great lengths to ensure it is the absolute lowest noise and dust levels produced for a performance street compound. With this pad compound you will increase the friction level of your pads resulting in quicker stops. The pads will last longer and be more quiet and produce less dust than your current OEM pad.
