I need some new pads, who's the cheapest and what should I go for? I think I have 5575 front calipers...

Fast road with a couple of trackdays here and there.

Mmmm, how do you tell the difference between the early signs (and nothing to worry about) and 'needs replacing' ?

There might have been a previous thread on this topic.....

On discs I look out for cracks that reach the outside edge of the disc

On pads I wait until I hear metal scraping together

On mine the pf lasted 6 track days and started cracking. Simpsons told me to try the ap which they said was new. Not j hook. So far no crack lines at all after 4 track days. J hooks are very good but I dun know if they make them for 5575 calipers.

So no more Pf for me
