Funny!

I was just asking that same question to an M3-owner friend of mine!

He said to contact them directly - their website is down right now. They really only have 2 pads...the R4 which is a track-use pad, and the R4S for street. The R4E is a specialty/endurance racing pad and probably not of much use to us.

I'm doing a brake pad search for some later model '96 9000 calipers, which bolt onto the 88-93 900's. I could not find any hi-po/track pads for this caliper, but I just found out that you can fit an E30 M3 pad into it with a little bit of filing!! I went to a BMW shop and verified this today! This opens up all kinds of pad choices. So far I like http://www.pegasusautoracing.com for the best selection of Hawk and Performance Friction pads. They have an application guide for Front pads only 900's 79-87 and 88-93, and for Fronts only - 9000's '86-90. Check it out at:

When you find your brake pad size code, you find the compounds here:

Good luck with it! DS
