I don't know about Eclipse's for sure but the Raybestos pads on my 71 worked way better then the duralast ones.

Metal Masters are Axxis or they are also sold as PBR brand, its the same thing. I like the Axxis/PBR Ultimate ceramic/kevlar but I currently have duralast gold ceramics and there actually pretty good. I had some EBC Greenstuff pads and they did not last very long and created a lot of dust. Next time I change them I will probably go back to Axxis Ultimates.

I'm really surprised by how many people run the cheap-o Duralast pads. I would recommend that you guys spend a little Extra money for the Metal Masters on your next pad change. Also going to SS lines made my brake pedal feel so much better and less spongy.
Thrust me you don't know until you have run better and gotten used to them. I think the R4-S are to much money for straight daily driving but I really wanted to try them out. I will probably go back to Metal Masters for daily driving on my next change and get R4-E pads for track days.
I have heard the Hawk pads are good but have never ran a pair on one of my cars.
