I just had the brakes changed today. Does the cost of $319 for the front and $125 for the rear pads sound about right. I think the sensors were an additional $27. Labor was $225

i can't remember the exact price i paid for, but my front is quite a bit cheaper than 319 and rear is more than 125 for sure (i bought them in bulk, 14 sets total).

wow, they sure charge a lot of labor. it takes about 30 mins to swap out the pads if you have a jack and impact gun.

Where is the best place to purchase Pagids?

Are people changing to RS-29s for DEs and street?

How are you bedding in the pads when not installed at the track? I cannot see installing pads by the side of a highway and then following this procedure:

PLEASE NOTE:
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE BEDDING IN PROCEDURES ARE BEING DONE ONLY ON
A RACE TRACK. PAGID RACING MATERIAL IS NOT LEGAL FOR STREET USE.

1. GEOMETRIC ALIGNMENT OF PAD SURFACE TO BRAKE DISC BASIC BEDDING IN

3-4 stops with light to medium brake pressure from approximately 150 km/h (90 MPH)
to approximately 100 km/h (65 MPH).

Distance between each brake stop is approximately 300-400 meters (300 to 400 yards).

The pads should not reach temperatures above 300-400 Centigrade (550 to 750 Fahrenheit)
during bedding in.

Blocking of the air ducts might be helpful to reach appropriate temperatures quicker.



2. IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEDDING IN AT HIGH SPEED

One stop with medium to heavy brake pressure without allowing the brakes to lock from
approximately 180 km/h (110 MPH) to approximately 100 km/h (65 MPH).

Recovery stops with light brake pressure 2-3 times.

Repeat the high speed stops, including recovery stops, 1-2 times.

Allow a cooling-off distance of approximately 500 m (500 yards) between high speed stops.

RS-29 Yellow front, Pagid RS-15 Black rear, track only. Don't use a race pad on the street...
