Just replaced front and back rotors and pads. I went with ATE PowerDiscs in the front, ATE in the back, and Pagid pads all around. Total cost was $355 with Super Blue and shipping from Eurasian. Pretty simple job if anyone wants info, just email me, though there is quite a bit of info in the archives. I am about to pressure bleed the system today with the BavAuto bleeder, yeah I know, I was just too lazy to build my own.

BTW does anyone know if the driver and passenger side rotor and pad wear should be within a specific range of each other. The front driver side pads were worn about 3 mm more than the passenger side, and the driver side rotor was more worn also. I think it has been a while since the brakes were last bled, so I was thinking that something could have been restricting flow to the passenger side. The brakes always worked great, so I never noticed it driving, and it never pulled to one side under braking either. The rear stuff was pretty much even.

Thanks,

Sean Horton
