Aftermarket Brake Pads

[iana74]

Yes, 8 pads, 2 with the sensor wires, 6 "normal". See edit above about price.

Ta Ian, much obliged. Will get my order in tomorrow and get them fitted next weekend.

[iana74]

No probs, I hope they do now fit! Will have to get mine done, have been putting it off after an absolute 'mare with locking nuts when swapping to winter wheels and tyres. I'm probably ready to face up to it again though! Got braided lines to go on too.

PS. I thoroughly reccomend winter tyres, running 275/30s and still a massive difference during our recent weather!

i think they re-worked the backing plate post nov 09 but if not its a 2 minute job with a half round file dead simple where are you in the country?

[dace]

No doubt but until they do ones with wear sensors in them I'm reluctant to fit.

Why? I have not had my wear sensors for three years. DS2500 are by far the best pad I have used for track and road.

I've always tried not to deviate to much from the standard set up and if it has the circuitry in place then best to use it rather than try to kid it. Plus after some research you can't get rear DS2500's for the RS4, so yellowstuff it is front and rear.

I have pagid blue's on the rear. The rear's do very little work so no drame IMO "mixing" brands.

Pads are ordered so will see how I get on. I'm not tracking it so these should do me good.

What did you go for in the end, as im in the same boat as you.

[P_G]

EBC yellow stuff front and rear from Camskill, £220 all in.

..anddid you confirm if they have the sensors in the EBC's YS?

[P_G]

In the fronts as per OEM yes. I used the part no.'s iana74 posted.

[sonny]

OK, its just that I too have been looking at a few sets too. are you running the STD break discs or was it you that had them uprated?

[P_G]

Standard at present sonny, it is Jim who has the larger 380mm front disks which wouldn't solve my rear disks warping!
