I also know some guys running MX72 on TT-RS brakes and on Movit 4-pots. Amazing results
as well both on track and street.

You must have won the lottery!!!

Amazing pads and well worth the money.  They will last 4 times longer than Pagid RS29's and not wear the disc out at all.

The pads for my R8 rears cost around £400 iirc.

If anyone has UK prices for MX72 please let me know. I wonder if they are less pricey in the UK than in Germany.

I wouldn't say "hard to get", just "have to wait a few weeks". Did you give Endless-Brakes.info a call?

What do you need? Fast road + some light track? Some mates use Pagid RS4-2. Many track experienced
Porsche-Owners are happy with them as well.

Awesome! Yeah can't say enough about the improved brake feel and stopping power. Had to drive up to USC and Hulu in Santa Monica yesterday and then back up last night for The Standard and a concert. Virtually eliminates every "oh $#!~" moment"! Just commuting they aren't hot enough to be super grippy, but with added foot pressure they grab very well still.

Quote
Over the past tank of gas during the last week I've driven in a number of conditions including city, freeway, and significant stop-an-go to LA on the 405, light rain, and sunshine.

Noise
Under these mixed-conditions the Endless MX-72 have not made a single noise so they are quieter than the HPS I was running that would occasionally squeal lightly coming to a stop in city driving. Score 10/10 :thumbup:

Dust
I'll have to give them a 7/10 here. Wiping my finger along the center wheel spokes there is no dust to speak of, but along the outside edge near the lip there is a light coating of a black, silky, sooty nature. Hard for me to directly compare to HPS, but I'll be conservative and say that they dust a little more. I think you'll be wanting to wash your wheels every week or tank of fuel. :frown:

Rotors
The rotors still have the light cross hatching pattern to them, so I believe the pads are very gentle on rotors and/or the cryogenic treating improves their wear greatly. :thumbsup:

I was told similar to OEM and less dust than Hawk HPS or Textar Porsche pads.

Not yet unfortunately. I will when next pads are worn.
You cannot go wrong with these. Dozens of Megane RS drivers run them.
It's just the price . . .
