New pads for new discs???

[kitpayne]

My S3 failed the MOT on brake discs and few other things. My question is if i replace the discs do i need new pads??? the pads on at the mo have only done a few hundred miles.

thanks in advance

Yes, you should fit new pads when fitting new disks, as the pad wears into the disk surface shape and not the other way round.

would it matter if i didn't change the pads. bit noisey i spose??

i think it would make no difference the pad would still wear into the new disc regardless

shouldnt be a major prob as new pads have to 'bed' in anyway...its just recommended due to the small cost when compared to new discs

 

[kitpayne]

that's what i thought. the cost is a big issue for me at the mo. just want the MOT

yeah if the pads only have a few hundred miles on them it makes no sense to replace them. If they were 75% worn it would make sense to replace them

get zimmerman from GSF and you wont regret it. push them time and time again, and ferredo pads. any standard or ds2500/ds3000 if you can afford it. really nice.
