Let me tell you something… I'm still completely stunned that ACG shipped me pads that were obviously incorrectly manufactured and that they were not immediately replaced or the situation otherwise resolved. One look at the pads shows the brake sensor notch is simply not in the right place… WTF??? And no resolution? What… My dealership is supposed to take the liability for modifying $650 worth of brake pads because they can't be manufactured properly? And how much of my time am I supposed to waste trying to resolve it? I finally stopped dealing with it after numerous emails and phone calls to both ACG and my dealer. If my time wasn't valuable I probably wouldn't be driving a car like this in the first place…

Maybe you guys should be careful about the companies you vouch for or perhaps you just have lower standards. Or perhaps just understand that while maybe you had a good experience, it's how companies deal with bad experiences that really define quality.
The notion that anyone's getting a cut is laughable so I'm not even going to respond to your insinuation.

I don't recall ever saying that it's impossible for your brakes not to squeak ... I've simply stated that my brakes don't make any noise. Greer referenced the importance of bedding brakes and I simply agreed as I do this with any pad.

My experience with ACG was a very positive one; I was turned on to them by another forum member FWIW.

The one that should be careful is you with your baseless comments regarding vouching for companies and lower standards.

This is a forum where members share information regarding their experiences with new products, especially on such a new platform. Some may be good, others may be bad which is really the essence of why forums exist in the first place.

If your experience with both the pads and the Company have been bad go ahead and post about it. I suggest you not bash other members who have provided honest feedback and have had good experiences with a product simply because yours has not been.
