Anyone experience clunking after installing any of these first time moving forward or in reverse and with a brake applicaiton. Issue was eliminated in the rear after swapping to a different brand but the front still keeps clunking after an MPP Page Mill Rotor and Pad upgrade on OEM Calipers for Performance. Unsure if normal or not.

Ya that's a topic of contention with UP and makes it really hard. They keep things very proprietary. I need to bring a set in and have one of my fast drivers test them out. Those do appear to be a great value but we have no data.

I got you bro. I have some Endless pads here. you just want measurements on the two axis? like above or what? DM me please.

These measurements are spot on with the Endless pads I have in stock. This is correct so not much else I can share.
These are the pad shapes for the Performance Caliper on the Model 3 and Y.

Just wanted to pop in this thread and announce that we are now a dealer for GLoc pads. We are a big fan of GLoc having used them in our track cars. GLoc offers a GS-1 pad which is their most docile pad for street/canyon carving. We believe this pad is a good fit for most people looking for a street pad that is more capable than stock. Low dust, non-corrosive to wheels/paint, no noise, excellent feel. For those of you looking for a track pad, the r12-r18 are what you are looking for.

We are still building the product page for these pads. It will take a bit (should be done on Tuesday) since there are a lot of compounds/variants we need to input. If you are interested in a set, shoot us a PM or email and we can get you set up.
When I asked this question of UP they told me their pads were between the heat performance of the Hawk HP and HP+. This was back in early 2019, when the first upgraded pads for the M3P brakes became available from UP.
I have run a set of these UP pads now for about 6 track events, and 60k miles on the street. They occasionally do squeak on the street and will fall off in performance a bit after hard race use but are a good compromise street/track pad from my experience.

That's good to know. I believe they have changed manufacturers though so now I'm not sure if that data applies to the pads made by PFC or whomever made the earlier ones. Do you know by chance?
Unfortunately no, I know I had one of the earliest sets before they were really in volume production.
I do know there were revised rears after the set that I currently have in, but I don't know if the compound changed. The issue that I noticed was the pads rattled a bit at low speed when the pads were totally clear of the rotors. Later revisions had tighter clearances where the pads met the calipers.
I was told that to totally eliminate this noise I should use double-sided high temp tape from RB between the piston face and brake pad backing plate, but I haven't done that yet. It's a pretty small noise.
It is not very noticeable, but loudest over potholes and such when no brakes are applied. My regular moderate music drowns it out for me.
I am told the current generation have tighter tolerances but haven't installed those since I am still on my first set.

Does anyone recall the pad thickness on your aftermarket P3D rear pads? I’m trying to install some RB XT910 and they’re 21mm thick each and don’t fit over the MPP rear rotor.
I removed the parking brake motor and spun the T45 bolt clockwise until the piston started to turn and wouldn’t retract anymore. My stock pads with 20k miles barely fit back on and they’re at least 2mm thinner each.

You can wind the piston back with the motor by applying 9-12vDC to the connector. As long as you're sure you've wound it back all the way manually then it should be back all the way but you'll also need to push the hydraulic piston back as well of course. New pads have 15mm of material on a 10mm backing plate so unless the MPP rotors are much wider than stock, your pads should fit.

Thanks for your help! I measured 11mm backing plate and 10mm pad so I’ll try on the other side to see what going on.
To wind it back I’m doing Towing Mode+manual winding by taking the motor off.
