Post subject: | Brake pads |
Was wondering - If I replace my current pads with some greenstuffs but leave the old rotors on, in a few months time when I decide to replace the rotors too, would I be able to keep using the same greenstuffs pads or does a rotor change always neccesitate a pad change too? (I just know that its common to swap the pads when disks are changed \ ground). Oh and where can I get some anti squeel shims for the 7.5'' disks? |

Oh and where can I get some anti squeel shims for the 7.5'' disks? The answer is you should use a new set of pads with your new rotors so that they bed in to the new surface...however...a few months of sympathetic driving on old wavy rotors probably won't matter ![]() Just be prepared to take it easy whilst everything sorts itself out and for some initial vibration at the pedal while the pads sort themselves out ![]() |

You can keep the same pads. Give to me and I'll dress them flat again.... ![]() You don't really need anti-squeal shims for most current pads. Some pads have a soft layer of some sort on the steel backing. I'm running Greenstuffs with no shims on Ha-Ha and Blackstuffs on Barney, none there either.. No problem. ![]() |

Cheers Doc, everything seems possible when you're around. |
