That sounds like a good plan to me. My new pads are already en route from Isringhausen. Thanks!

50% after only 3 track days. These pads don't last very long...

Just like how our for steel calipers go red, dark red, maroone, brown.
Just found this tip (tap spring with hammer to release pin) while I was trying to change pads for first time on the GT3 - I was swearing a blue streak at that bloody spring / pin and couldn't figure the trick to get it out - TRAKCAR & Rennlist to the rescue yet again! Thanks !
