Hey there, I just picked up my BF GT after its 45,000 km service, apparently I have about 5,000 km's before having to replace pads and rotors (standard Brembo set up) at a cost of $2200.00. I thought I would need to change pads a few times (which I haven't) before having to replace rotors, I was told the pads and rotors wear at the same rate, is there a softer pad I can run, to delay having to replacing my rotors? Thanks for your time, cheers, Lee.

I have the replacement pads from you on my FG F6, 4 pot brembos, fronts. How do you get rid of the squeal?

Sorry to waste your time, just found out that the pads are from a different race brakes mob. Thanks for your advice though.

Is a rotor machine always recommended when fitting a new set of pads? Have been hearing about QFM pads also - whats your recommendation on their range? Thanks always for your help.

Hello Matt ,
I bought some replacement pads for my GT at about 15000 k's and they are still going although I am starting to get a bit of vibration .( needs a machine) Now at 86000 k,s on the original brembos discs . My question is , when I am ready to buy new rotors more than likely aftermarkets , will the brembo pads i have which are barely worn,have the same effect on a aftermarket rotor as they do on the brembo rotor ? ( ps , i do a lot of highway work hence the longevity of the brakes)

Hey Matt,
I meant the wear rate with the Brembo Pad and Rotor . The vibration is just starting and the discs not have a bit of a lip,time for a machine. i wanted to use the brembo pads i have which are like new on a DBA type rotor and was just wondering will the brembo pad chew out a DBA in the same time it would a Brembo disc.
