CU2 - Rear brake pads
Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2011 11:47 am
Changed my rear brake pads today (after 40+k). This was after looking around for after-market replacement pads. Went to Stamford Tyres but Project Mu doesn't manufacture a replacement pad for our model. Was told that the original OEM pads will cost $210, which is pretty ridiculous.
Searched on Japanese websites and found that Dixcel, a Japanese brake manufacturer does have a pad for CU2. Contacted a local workshop and ordered a set. Had it done today and the bite seems pretty good.
It cost $145 including GST and labour, pretty good value for a after market replacement pads. Not to mention, good service at the workshop too...
