Ordered from MyRoadster.net (cheaper then buying direct from porterfield) from Jerry the owner. Jerry is fairly involved with SLK and Z3 forums (prob. where Ellen found him). Nice and responsive to deal with. I am also encouraging him to post and advertise at AW/VWV. I am looking forward to trying the Porterfields on my oem brake setup and soon to arrive new wheels.

to this neck of the woods as well. Michael has the Porterfields on his TT, and we just put them on the 32 yesterday. Very little dust, and they're reportedly rotor friendly (carbon-kevlar). Oh, and from what I can tell so far, the braking is great (and no squeaking, but that could have been from M's expert installation ;-D ). Porterfield pads are the main aftermarket pad they seem to use on the M-Bs.

Jerry is a really nice guy, and he's the sole proprietor at MyRoadster.net.<ul><li><a href="http://myroadster.net">MyRoadster.net</a></li></ul>

I am assuming the stock pads (and possibly the other pads people are putting on) are not carbon-kevlar, being the dolt that I am I thought they were a rubber compound.

I'll ask Jerry next time I talk with him, or that would be a good question to post directly to Porterfield.

Also, if you decide to go with these pads, don't foget about bedding them properly.<ul><li><a href="http://www.porterfield-brakes.com">Porterfield Brakes</a></li></ul>

How much were they???

They mention, briefly, that these pads should last longer if they are bedded properly.
