I ordered DS2500's for a VR4 that only cost £90. £80 sounds a bit steep!

Is that for just the fronts?

I have just bought some Mintex pads for my Brembo fronts and they cost me £90. The DS2500 for the Brembo cost £145+
Something to bear in mind if you choose to do the upgrade.

Blimey ! The DS2500's for the KAD's are approx £95 (they are AP Racing shaped)

thing is i posted this question 3 days ago and i needed an answer fairly soonish but nothing came back so i had no choice.
but it seems once ive made you guys feel good about spending less on yours you are more than happy to tell you what you bought!

i could have done with this information before today. i had plenty of views (i guess this is the amount of people reading my post) but no replies so i wasnt going to wait till someone could be bothered to reply.

Sorry SYL, if i could have helped i would have. I've got VR4 front calipers on mine so no idea. Did you use search to bring anything up?

I fear we may have failed you on this occasion......

yes i did search first, and it all got confusing since the main info was based on vr4's not mine.

I may have missed your original post on this, sorry SYL! If I had read it I would have posted that earlier :5shots:

ok then in view of this can you guys supply me the info i need in future and i will note it down also where to get them from

ideally part numbers for front set and back set would be ideal (i was thinking of ringing camskill)

thanks

To help in the future try the "Advanced Search" facility....you can narrow down the results by putting filters in....for example, just searching the "Other Galant Models" forum.

I can give you the link to where I bought my pads from. However depending on whether you udgrade your discs, decides what pads you may need.

You should find all you need at http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk, The prices there are incredibly competitive. The will supply all pads, EBC Kevlar, Green's, Red's etc and other makes.

no i intend keeping things as they are since i dont do track days and money is tight.

just spent 150 yesterday on two new tyres, another 150 on a towbar another amount on getting the electrics done and 33 quid on tracking on tues

so i guess my spending is a bit out of it for now but pads are more important.
