You can't take it with you David......

And it's better than wasting money on a Map (A-Z or otherwise)

[David8]

Found a break in the horrible weather to change out my winter wheels and tyres for my newly refurbished rotors and summer rubber. Thought I'd share my brakes experience while I was at it.

 

OEM front discs were changed and EBC Redstuff pads (from the USA) installed in November at 42k, I'm now at 47k and the discs are performing well, no issues whatsoever. Photo attached showing lovely even wear and a very slight lip at the outside of the disc.

 

OEM rear discs have been on for 15k miles with Redstuff and showing loads of life left.

 

I really don't expect this to change much in the next however many thousand miles I put on.

Oh, and excuse the scrappy paintwork on the spider - I slapped on a load paint to avoid corrosion, seems to have worked though.

I've just purchased OEM discs and redstuff pads with wear sensor just need to fit them now

[SK-RS3]

Changed pads and discs last week . Had yellow stuff on and they where down to the wear sensor only covered around 1500 miles .
Red stuff fitted lets see how long they last

[Bobski]

Did my discs and pads the other week. Using ds2500 pads and they are huge improvement over red stuff I was running before.

[David8]

Been running red stuff pads for about 7000 miles on my rs without any problems, had a good look yesterday and found a score line or crack on the NSF disc

Looks like an imperfection in the metal from the photo. As seen above my discs are still looking good.

 

Performance could be slightly better but a hard stop from speed the other night in the wet proved they do the biz.

Would like to try the ferodos next time I change discs.

I wouldn't worry, just keep an eye on it as the disc wears. Probably just caused by a trapped stone

Hello Matt ! Yeah just looks like a score mark in the disc not a crack so It should be ok I need to get hold of some new front pads soon think I will stick with the red stuff but Also does anyone know of an alternative brake setup that works with std 8j wheels ? Discs and pads

Yes it was very exciting mate & I understand it was just as good to watch 😁

I'm well happy with how the RS drove on the day & the speed it could carry through the corners once the brakes had failed 😈

I must admit I noticed that too....

Thought it might have been the painkillers blurring my vision

So they are YellowStuff pads then Dell ?
