JRot 13 Report post Posted September 26, 2017 Very tempted since I have to get discs and pads done for the front literally in. The next few days... Car presently sounds like I'm dragging ET on the front end brake or no brake he's screaming... The stock pads and discs have lasted 7 months... For £360... So how would I get these, and how easy are they to fit yourself? Judging from the comments ts they get high praise, but do they wear evenly? Long lastingish.. Considering I'm. A late braker? Thanks JRot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks JRot They're piss easy to fit, wheel off, one bolt on the caliper, pads out, pads in, caliper bolt on, wheel on. If you're late on the brakes, they won't last very long before the pedal goes to the floor. But having said that there's still a fair bit of material left on mine.

Rich 378 Report post Posted September 26, 2017 Very easy to fit yourself. There are detailed threads around, but the gist is: Remove wheel. Undo bottom caliper bolt, loosen top caliper bolt (both 14 mm). Swing caliper up off brake pads. Remove old brake pads (they'll pull free with a bit of effort), marvel at how trashed they are. Install new pads. Drop caliper back down (you will need to wind the pistons back at this point, I use a piston windback tool, but anything that will give some leverage will do; keep an eye on brake fluid level in the reservior). Bolt caliper back up (torque to 19 ft-lb), refit wheel. Done! As for life, mine seem to be quite hard wearing for such an effective pad; they're doing much better than my Cosworth Streetmasters.

Mike 458 Report post Posted September 26, 2017 What they said, but I've been told (and did it when I changed my pads) to take the cover off the brake fluid reservoir and put a paper towel over the opening and then place the cap back on (not tighten) - supposedly makes it easier to push the pistons back and if any fluid wants to leak it gets soaked up by the paper towel.

Ade 517 Report post Posted September 26, 2017 Id recommend a piston spreader as some have had a hard time pushing the pistons back in. Personally I use a big screwdriver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I crack the seal on the reservoir and just watch the level. I've had to suck a bit of fluid out (a turkey baster works well) before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
