Nice - thanks for this.

Ok, but you also mention that the Porterfields suck on the track so if I were to order Endless, would they make street driving a little rougher, eat my rotors, dust less, make less/more noise? and allow me to do a HPDE event or two at Lime Rock?

I'll chime in since I have Endless MX's. Street driving is not at all any rougher than the OEM Jurid pads I remove, it's actually better.

The feel of these pads is pretty good right now, but as they continue to bed/contour to the new rotors, the feel will get better and better.

They will eat rotors quicker than a softer pad - yes, but then again, these rotors are good for a long time and with Coleman providing replacements are the $700 mark shipped, makes it totally affordable.

WAY less dust and noise than OE. Like not even in the same universe.

With good fluid, you should have no issues tracking on these pads from what I've heard.

So far, I'm really really loving the pads and so happy I went with this route. Don't take this as a sales pitch just because my buddy sells them. Heck, I don't even know if they're in stock as I might have taken the last set so feel free to check with ACG as they have a thread about them too. Just really happy that I went this route is all.

Yea they are actually closer to $800 shipped from what I was told. Like $765 or something.

Front brake pads: how do you remove that massive bolt in the middle? I remove the 13mm bolt at the back of the caliper but the "massive bolt" stays there rock solid...

Tap it out. The 13mm bolt is the only thing holding it in place.
