    Thought I'd vent a bit of Frustration...

    After having brand new Race Brake Pads Fitted less than 2000km's ago. They are entirely GOOOOOOOOOONE! - Nothing left. So far down that it has caused wear into the Rotor itself by an additional 4mm. Hence what my Squealing Brake noise and constant feeling like being dragged back was.

    So now i'm up for a new set of Front Rotors, New set of Front pads and a Caliper Rebuild kit. :mad::eek::mad:

    Pretty pissed off would be an understatement.

    Soooo, seized calipers? No pad will wear out in 2000k's unless you have a seized caliper or you constantly ride the brakes.

    Agreed

    Fuel consumption would have been abysmal too.

    Caliper Seized

    I agree.

    I believe BOTH front calipers to be seized.

    Brake pads were FAR FROM BLACK AND GOLD :mad: grrrrr... And GO pedal is all I'm understanding. Explains perfectly my not so perfect fuel consumption. :thumbup:

    Definitely giving me the chance to upgrade. But Brembo's are out of the equation. :) However the 324mm Rotors will definitely be the go. :) And Rebuild kit on both Calipers on the board as well.

    Unless :p Someone can offer me Brembo Calipers at a Reasonable price :p :cool2:
