Just the fronts.. and they probably had another 10,000 left in them!,
The rears still look brand new, I left them as is.. not sure if the previous owner did them recently or not, as they still are 80% meaty.

bit of a bump, posted up the same question in where to buy, but not getting many responses.
how much should I be paying roughly to get a set of pads changed at an independent (non-dealership)? (Labor only, providing parts myself)
I went to a brake and exhaust place across the road from Honda LOL. I paid $400 for Brand new Bendix General CT pads all around,all four rotors machined professionally, and a full brake fluid flush. i thought that was reasonable, no squeal, good bite and low dust exactly what i wanted :)
Front pads $85 a pair
Rear pads $78 a pair
Labor was $154
plus other costs...
thanks for the reply, but im a bit confused.
the labor ($154) you paid was for machining of rotors, full bf flush and installation of rotors and pads?
yes that is correct
Hi,
Was wondering if $210 for front only brake pads (Bendix) & rotor machining is reasonable? that includes labour.
Hmmmm,seems a little expensive.I'm thinking round the $160 mark.Quote:

i'm not sure how much bendix pads cost..
I grabbed front and rears Bendix Genreal CT's yesterday.
Fronts were $65
Rears were $50
Just a quick update on my NR pads and DBA 4000 blanks.
Just did my pink slip for rego and had the brake tested as part of the procedure. Printout says Max deceleration as 1.23 G! LOL, I wonder how hard were they hitting the brakes.
After reading through 18 pages... I still don't know which ones is best to replace the OEM brake pads for a CL9 daily driver with no track usage to resolve the braking shudder problem. :(
