just a word of warnin-, i put a pair o zimmerman X-drilled discs and a set of Pagid Fast Road pads last April. By september the pads were completely down to the metal- no surface left at all. they were replaced with more o the same and now these are done too! To top it off the discs have started cracking! That's with normal road use too! 2 sets of Pagid FR pads and a pair of Zimmerman X-drilled discs eaten in 10 months normal use! Never again!
Yeah, I've got Zimmerman x-disc's and pagid pad's front and rear, they been on about 18 month's. In that time i've been through 2 set's of pad's! The disc's are getting real thin as well now! Again, this is just through normal road use! [:^(]
Did u bed them in properley? They should last longer than the OE pads with the same use cos they are harder. I think the cracking phenomenon on the drilled discs has been discussed before. I'd check it out before they crumble completely when u really need them. I'm running G88 tarox discs with them same pads and wear is fine despite the discs multiple slats and cheese grater action on them.
I got the x drilled zimmerman and pagid fast road pads as well. Fitted about june last year, no problems yet and loads of material left on the pads.
Darryn - its hardly normal drivin, accelerate, brake accelerate, brake, accelerate, brake!!! Get ATE discs next time - and stick with the pagids, they are the best!!
Ran the same setup on Jetta for a few years.. Cracked in the end.. but they're drilled thats to be expected. Pad consumption seems excessive... Heavy right foot? Last of the late brakers?
nah, was just the servo bit needing adjusted. sorted that right away. brakes were binding on a little, but not since last summer.
Darryn, its the toon drivin!! The constant stoppin to look at the whoors causes havoc on the brakes!!!
