So I have been using the Acre pads and they are absolutely awesome. It took around 3 weeks of daily driving to get rid of the brake shudder and assumingly remove the deposits. I now have super smooth braking and significantly higher bite than the stock pads. There is however more brake dust but it is a wrothy tradeoff.....
I had shudders on my brakes and ended up changing the rotors to RBA Slotted rotors and RBA rotors. Heaps of dust but brakes great! Maybe I should have just changed the pads to save some $$$
How much would an average set of pads cost (4)?? Was quoted $168 installed. Is that a good price or should I maybe try DIY? A bit concerned about safety of DIY'ing.
Will Oem rotors be ok for the odd track day?
Yes, they will be ok. Pad selection is more important.Quote:

as im going to be selling the car off what is the cheapest but still safe option out there ?
and DIY shouldnt be too hard i imagine ?
how much did you guys pay for bendix general gt's ?
im assuming i can just pop into supercheap/autobarn to get a set ?
supercheap is hopeless, either go to autobarn or bursons.
will i need a part number or something to bring with me when i go to autobarn.
any help will be great. gonna go get a set tomorrow
Repco had a fathers day special on the bendix gct pads, rear retail $107, fathers day price with free bottle of repco brake fluid $63.99 and fronts retail $117, fathers day price with free bottle of repco brake fluid $63.99
I just bought Bendix General CT for the rear for $60, they feel exactly the same as OEM, installed them myself....versus Honda OEM at $135 + $90 installation as quoted at my last service. Could not justify paying 2 1/4 times more (for pads only) when they are equally just as good, if not better.
