Brake pads...

[Edmond]

Hey all,

I just picked up Bosch premium pads for the front and rear. I heard great stuff about the Hawk pads, but I couldn't part with that much money. Cost me $95 for all four wheels, including tax with a $20 rebate. I'm gonna put them on next week and will let everyone know how they are.

Hawk pads aren't that much, where were you looking?

I just couldn't part for $90 fronts and $55 rears! :cry

Tire rack is a good source and has them readily available, but locally I can find them cheaper, it might take a while to get them in though.

Jeff,

Thanks for the info. I should posted this a couple weeks ago!:L I've already secured the help of my mechanic neighbor to help me through it.

Thanks!

PS. Are the pads for the Z expensive? I see you've got the big rotors on there!

Roughly 150 per axle for the HP+ race compound

Hi

I really do not want to change the topic, but can a rattle come from the brake pads??

I know it's certainly not supposed to! You'd better take a look at that; brakes aren't something that you want to neglect.
