I'm at braking point...

Post by gdgd » Mon Nov 20, 2017 12:27 pm

I need some new front brake pads. From looking, the Ferrodo Premieres seem to fit the bill nicely. Can anyone confirm if I will need one or two sets of the following?? :

I generally drive like a grampa so feel they may be overkill....

Do I need 1 or 2 sets for the front?

Do the DS2500 have wear sensors? Can’t remember.

I’ve run premiums on cars before and they were ok.

I got the Ferodo's with the wear sensors and despite what Ferdo might tell you, you will need 2 boxes.

I bought those in May and 1 box was required. 8 pads were in the box. My seller no longer lists them but I see they are cheaper on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ferodo-FDB4165 ... B00CUFBEBC
