What cost would I be looking at?

I did mine not long ago, for new discs and pads I dont think it was more then $1100, If you need a hand or need someone to do it, let me know mate

How noisy is it?

All my previous ford turbo cars have done it, not loud as but it was noticeable if you stop and listen out for it. Its alot louder when a bigger dump pipe is hanging off the back of the turbo also.

My Liberty:

Things to note in the pics I took of the air intake. I circled and drew some things on there. The down arrow is where that random pipe was sitting, the left arrow is where they put the intake with a speaker mesh over the end to filter the air somewhat, and the circle is where it attached to the airbox. The McDonalds cup is just a load of wtf.

They sealed my airbox shut with something, not sure what it is but it's solid.

Removed my rear speakers and double din deck, along with the ignition barrell (they had the keys so wtf? probably dumped it somewhere, someone saw it and said score and took it) also removed all the trim in the front of the car.

Unplugged my brake lights and electric mirrors..

Not sure what was at the front, but I think it was the air conditioning? In the pics you'll see some unconnected cables and a big gap infront of radiator. That where the air con was?

Broke drivers door mirror and took battery from engine so cant wind up windows or anything.

There was a random broken fan in the boot along with some rubber lining from another boot.

Rest of the pics are just the damage that was done to the body of the car and the spoiler holes from where they removed it.

DS2500 has been great for me. Not a fan of QFM since I got a set where the surface area of the material was less than stock.

I pointed this out to the seller and he advised surface area has no impact on friction, one of newton's laws?

Less mass to disperse heat though, also left a rust mark in the center (near hub)as this is where the pad was smaller :(

Murdok - get it checked next time you're around XFT, get Simon to hand spin it with intake plumbing off and see what he reckons.

Remsa were next on my list.

Grug - DBA-5000 were $1000 delivered and the 4000's were $470 delivered

Pads about $300 for the ds2500

This was over a year ago now though.
