lazy sod, do it yourself ;)

It is an easy job tbh, even I do mine.......

I generally use the Pagid shape code (E8018 or E1903 will fit use disc front, E1265 rear) Nd either buy from Questmead or ASPerformance)

I used to swap between RS29 all round for track and DS2500 for road but fir last 18 months I have used RS14 front and DS2500 rear. No squeaking and not too harsh. Pads are much cheaper than RS29 but as you'd expect they do wear faster.

I know - i have done my pads before and would happily do the discs but i can't be arsed messing with the fluid - which will be done too.

Is there a handy guide anywhere for the fluid change and bleeding procedure? :smt017

I must say that i find RS29 fine on road and they warm just fine for me. I may be able to help you with another choice however Steve - they are AP fitment too.

I bought a set of Mintex Racing M1144 pads last year from Questmead. I bought them as a decent quality set to use on road during winter months. I have not used these before but i believe they should cope with a track day or two also as well as road. They are made by TMD Friction - the same company that make the Pagid pads. I don't require these now as i rarely use my CSL in winter and the RS29s will stay fitted.

Let me know if you are interested - i can even bring them up to Yorkshire this weekend as i will be up that way :thumbs:

They should be fine Shimmy, if not 100% money back guarantee:thumbs:


Only £100 as well ya tight git:birdman:;)

I too have heard good things about these

Visiting the in laws then Rob:thumbs:

In order to do proper brake bleeding in our cars, you need to use the BMW GT1 and open the DSC valves.
I can make a proper how-to since I do it on my own (I have a brake bleeder and a GT1 ;) ).

Never used gt1 alex and never had any issues bleeding my brakes. :thumbs:

Indeed ;)

Cool :smokin:
