Brembo's & DS pads

[Johnny]

Right - im going to fit these tonight and I cant wait.
The Brembo Discs look well made and have been finished off quite nicely.
The pads however just look damn feirce! I cant seem to find out what the composite is made from but they seem to have a copper sinter in them.

I will let you know how the fitting goes. Is there anything I should be looking out for / common issues?

I like the squeaking. I just put the music up and roll the car on the brakes near bus stops with lots of people........I can't hear it.......... :dgrin: and it sounds great :tank:

What do you mean by 'Do at least 2 full 1/2 heat cycles on the brakes to bed them in properly'

...What do you mean by 'Do at least 2 full 1/2 heat cycles on the brakes to bed them in properly'Positive braking with firm-ish pressure - to allow the brakes to get upto 1/2 full temp. Let them cool off again and repeat. Just to make sure you dont warp anything and the pads bed in properly.
