RS6 Brake Setup - New Pads!

Guys,

As some of you know I put the RS6 Callipers and B7 RS4 disks on my car last year, what a fantastic setup I have to say, coming from RS4 B5 front Callipers the difference was immense!

Anyway, guess what, after coving just less than 3000 miles my pads are worn out!! I suppose I am not overly upset with this because the disks are fine so I suspect the Pagid blacks (?) are just a little soft, and I certainly gave them a LOT of stick over those 3000 miles…

I wouldn't worry about the wear if the discs are staying fine and the brakes perform well, just keep replacing them when needed

I agree entirely, would rather change pads than disks each time!!

My car does not have sensors as it is an import... I better keep an eye on the pad wear then! Stop enjoying the manx roads lucky git!
