[Euro] Brake pad replacement

[aaronng]

How long did your SSS last for Aaron?
THis still with the same DBA 4000?

The SSS were on Nick's car. I'm now using Project Mu NR that I installed at the same time as the DBA4000.

Thought I might chime in. Around 3 months ago I started experiencing brake shudder in my 03 Euro. I checked my front pads (stock) and they looked fine and had lots of meat left. After reading varoius posts regarding shudder under brakes, I decided to change my front pads (to try and remove the build up and at the same time get some more bite). 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.

ok both my rear brakes are starting to make the sound that tells me i need to change the brake pads.

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 ?

[hooyn]

how much did you guys pay for bendix general gt's ?

im assuming i can just pop into supercheap/autobarn to get a set ?

[grifty]

supercheap is hopeless, either go to autobarn or bursons.

[hooyn]

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.
