Hi guy’s looking at getting new pads , the std ones have done well at 20k👍
The std pads are cheap too, but looking may at get ones with better initial bite?
Anybody recommend anything?
🚗💨
 
For road bias, you can consider Endless MX72/MX72 plus that has great reviews, but really, if you did 20k with the first set, OE pads are just fine.

For initial bite, make a habit to brake from high speed on a regular basis even if only just commuting, to keep the pad surface fresh and bity...

Would like something with less dust for sure👍🚗💨💨
 
Are the pads easy to change yourself? I have always done my motorcycles myself but not done a car for a few years..

I am competent with a spanner just curious to know if any special tools are required which makes it uneconomic to do yourself

Thanks
 
Pad changes are easy as pie! It is literally a 15 min job per wheel and it does not need any special tools. I do use gloves, but I'm fancy...

You've done well getting 20k miles out of a std set. Mine seem to last around 2.5-3 days! I've been trying out the DS2500's atm. They are defo a bit better than the std pad re feel and bite, and dust does seem mildly better too.

Yeah well easy to change 👍
Std pads are good for the money, just very dusty 😂💨💨💨🚗
 
Happy with EBC RP-X. But theyre officially track use only. Grips as stock when cold but when theyre hot they are just epic

Ok thanks everyone! And a video to assist me as well!! Even i can't mess this up!!

And even i do i will not be telling you lot!! :ROFLMAO:

And a £100 saved too... The stealer wanted £180 for a pad change on the front, I bought original pads for £75 and 30 mins of my labour hopefully!

before removing the pads worth pushing the pistons in so you avoid messing up the dust seals. othervise should be quite easy job.
