I spent around 1300$ total (650$+125$ replacement+shipping into europe with duties and 250$ for install) to get those breakpads tested and... I can say These pads are complete trash. They're not perfect OEM fit. After placing it, my left front breakpad has "glued" in because of temperature while driving 200 km/h on highway and kept being applied by itself and vibrated whole car - looking in reverse mirror everything was just blurred. Had to stop when possible and cool it down to be able to even drive slow without heavy vibrations.
Took them back to service - they admit this particular breakpad didn't fit as good as others but they managed to put it in. I've got in touch with ACG about this and they offered me buying replacement for this axle with discount - I agred and thought the problem will be over. Nope 2 months of waiting for breakpads to arrive in Europe and turned out they sent the rear ones. Hit them up and there's no reply for more than 30 days already. From the product review - stoping power is less, the feeling on the brake feels not natural ( it feels heavy from begining ), it gets easily overheated. I run only black wheels and I can say the dust is not minimal - I don't see any difference in wheels being clean for longer. So in my experience - there's no good alternative to OEM breakpads which squeak like school bus but at least fit well and don't negatively surprise you when most needed.. |

In my experience I wouldn't call them complete trash but I have been experiencing significant brake fade on hot days especially when applying medium-full pressure braking. Anyone else have negative brake feel? Should I try to re-bed them? The brakes also exhibit rattling/shaking similar to what I've experienced when a caliber warped or had groves... I should prob take a look at the calibers lol

Sucks to hear you guys have had bad experiences with the pads.
Maybe I was lucky but my experience has not been bad .. recently they've started to make noise but it goes away with hard braking.

Well I can attest to the non existent customer service. I've sent them multiple messages in the forum and on their website with no response.
But I will admit all this influx of negative reviews out I'd no where on pads that have been around for a couple years now is concerning. Especially concerning that when the pads fail all they do is offer a discount on replacement.

I installed (December 2019) the Porterfield pads myself. No issue with the fitment of the pads in front or rear brake calibers. I have done some spirited driving and have not experienced any brake fade.

Looks like the price on the Porterfields has gone down some. https://www.porterfield-brakes.com/P...0Manufacturers

Mine have been squeaking like crazy now since winter started. Yay me! Just gave her a thorough first wash of spring. Helped a bit, but the squeal is just "less" which i full expect to get worse now. Ugh. Have about 10k miles on them.
