Front pads and discs gone!

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

Heard the dreaded noise when your pads go

I changed my rear discs and pads a few months back and I'm just basically wondering if it's exactly the same principle.

I'm considering just taking it to the garage.

Are the discs different on a cup?
Mine is a 182 non cup

You know if you don't wait until your brake pad wears down to the metal the discs last longer than one set of brake pads?

And you're selling the pads?

Same principle, wheel off, unbolt calipers(tie up out of way), swap discs, remove pads, push piston back(fronts don't wind back like the rears), put new pads in, slip calipers over discs and bolt back up, wheel on, job done.

Discs + pads are the same.

@George@RTR_Parts is probably one of the cheapest for disc + pads and you get super fast delivery.

Fronts are easier than rears tbh.

You might struggle with the torx retaining screw holding the disc on though.

also clean caliper carrier and sliders, piston face etc...

Front discs and pads are easy, takes longer too get the car jacked up and take the wheels off.
