R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 29/11/08 04:41 AM Share Posted 29/11/08 04:41 AM I just ticked over 40,000ks and I've got heaps of meat left after a track day and some highly legal sprints to stupid speeds with heavy braking. Apparently they'll last 1 machine then the rotors need to be replaced, but I'm not too sure. There are ways of making it less expensive if you don't go to places like Ford to get new brakes...EG.SET OF FRONT PADS ONLY OEM Ford - $1005!!!EBC Pads from Repco - $850 Pads from BGT - $450 Pads from Race Brakes - $240 The rotors have the same storey. It's not what you know, it's who you know can get them for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
