XRPete Member 673 Member For: 17y 4m 17d Gender: Male Location: Here Posted 29/11/08 03:55 AM Share Posted 29/11/08 03:55 AM I've been offered some rda's slotted rotors for my T(front and rear). To get rid of my shudder. The question, is it stupid to put these on with the factory pads(Bout 50% left)?Are the factory pads to hard, and ruin my new discs quick?Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New discs will enjoy new pads. The factory pads are very standard and there are far better alternatives available. Those reccomendations will shortly follow. Mine's Ferodo formula.I.B.

New rotors = new pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New pads will form to the new discs biting into a larger surface area.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
