ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 09/05/08 03:11 AM Share Posted 09/05/08 03:11 AM Was driving back from a client yesterday when I get that awful grinding noise from my brakes. Looks like I have already done a set of pads. I would have expected them to last more than 27,000km. I have ordered a new set of Endless pads as they are $200 cheaper and much better pad than the sotck Brembo ones.I am going to fit them tomorrow with a disk machine as the rotors have a huge lip on them.Cost of the pads were $345 delivered from Racebrakes Sydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 09/05/08 04:23 AM Author Share Posted 09/05/08 04:23 AM I have the optional 6/4 pot Brembos.I am hoping there is enough meat on the rotors for a mchine or I am up for new rotors at $500 per side.I must admit they are the best brakes I have ever had on any cars. 10 Laps of eastern creek and there was no fade.

Adam Here since the start...

Price a set through Ford spares just for laughs. You'll be amazed at the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
