AP Pads & Rotors

[O'Neill]

You can run rs14 down to 2mm as they dont brake up, however rs29 I think should be replaced 4-5mm as the tend to disintegrate below that.

However ive run both down to metal to metal :smokin:

Was you on 29s at Oulton:hahaha:

I have a set on the car with about 8mm f/r and a worn set with 7mm f/r.

3/4 track days between the two sets ??

[O'Neill]

Remember rs29 come with 8.5mm on each pad. Think mine have managed 5/6 days, two being wet.

12mm each pad on the 5575, 13mm 5555 :whistle:

That's including backing plate, we're talking pad material :whistle:

Glad you chimed in there Shimmy. Stop confusing the issue O'Neil and BillyboysM3 :smt021 . 17mm standard or 18mm including the backing plate.

In theory if one has worn discs it wil make more sense to buy E1903 pads as more wear, same price.

[O'Neill]

How many sets of pads do you use to a set of discs shim.

Sadly there no longer the same price now £23 more at my trade price .

If you say pads last 600-1000 track miles and discs 1800-2100 track miles I'd say that 3 sets per disc was about right.

I don think I get that much from pads, but my discs lasted a long time, im on Alcon discs.

Alcon 365 discs are about 550 inc vat to buy.

Cheers, with that data, should have the rest of the two half sets I have then another set. I don't think my fronts will last another set, they have a good few heat cracks, APs. I'll get you to have a look at Donny to see where you think they are in terms of life left.

More often than not the inside pad and inside disc go first.

What's best, J-hook or Curly Grooves? I can't find any images of Curly Grooves so I have no idea what they look like, anyone got any pics?

So you are asking if you should go straight or bent?

Wrong place to ask mate :smokin:
