DO NOT BUY FROM AUTOPLICITY.

I placed my order on the 20th, and after calling them today, they said my order wont ship until MARCH 24th. And they are trying to only refund my money with store credit!!

That really sux.... Get the word out!... Can you argue with them that they sold you something they did not have...

If you paid via pay pal file a claim with them and say you want a full refund.
Any other credit card or bank debit  you may have used ... contact there fraud dept.  federal regulations do not allow this ! !
 
The prices ARE pretty good, do you think EBC is backordered maybe?  Autoplicity does say shipping is direct from the mfr.  Hmmm.
 
Well, I filed a claim with paypal. I asked them twice to cancel my order and refund my money, and they just reply it will ship on March 24th.
 
You can blame the women folk all you want for the fast brake wear but I doubt anyone on this forum is 'babying' their twin turbo'd 365+hp 4400lbs car. ;)

As for pads.... best pads I have used were on my '07 Legacy Spec.B (300awhp) were some Porterfield R4-S's. Not sure if they make them for our cars but they use to offer to put their material onto your worn pads. Price was well in line with the EBC stuff back when I got them as well.
 
Not sure if Autoplicity finally agreed to my emails, or they got the Emails from Paypal, but I just got an email from Autoplicity that they are canceling my order and refunding my money.

So the search is on for the next best price. Im not sure I want to stick with EBC Red pads. I wanted to go with the Yellows due to how much more heat they can handle. I was also convinced I wanted the EBC USR rotors, since supposedly they are quieter and grip almost as good as the Gold/brass colored dimpled and slotted rotors they sell, which supposedly make more noise.

But then I also think, maybe since all my other brake issues are fixed now, and im also doing steel braided lines, that by using EBC rotors with EBC pads, ill be better off compared to how right now im using EBC reds with Stoptech rotors.

PayPal can be a pain in the ARS sometimes  , but as a general rule of thumb most large web etailers don't screw around with disputes involving paypal .

I've had several brake issues so don't get me started.

I'm at 60k now and they are making a bad noise, so I just ordered all new pads, rotors, and steel braided lines. And going to flush the fluid.

EBC slotted rotors, EBC yellow pads, and steel lines, total to my door was a little under $700

i think i may do the same when my pads are done. Im wondering how the vibration/noise from the slotted rotors ive never had them before and have heard some things.
 
Only issue is they don't list pads for the rears, probably have to put in a call to find out why.  They do have front/rear for my Edge tho :D

Little update, I dont have my money back from Autoplicity yet, but I know paypal usually takes 3-4 days before I ever see refunds show up in paypal.

I did go ahead and I ordered the EBC USR Slotted Rotors, and EBC Red pads from Amazon, I have free 2 day shipping with amazon prime, so they say they will be here Wed. I also decided to give the Red pads another try. I did re-order a set of steel braided brake lines, but I ordered them from THmotorsports. Ive had good luck with them in the past.
 
Im actually off Wed, so im happy with that. But I dont think my brake lines will be here that quick, so either way I gotta wait. Oh well, a couple days is a lot better than 5 weeks from autoplicity.
 
I liked my porters. I'll grab again when time comes. If anyone here grabs them first be sure to post about them. ;)
 
My 09 MKS was on the stock pads at 52k.  I had the rotors turned when the parking brakes locked up and the read pads and rotors were replaced.  My wife's 11 Flex got about 85k out of the stock pads. I was SHOCKED.  She leased a Pontiac G6 and was metal on metal in front in under 30k.
