Please see pics attached below (dirty calipers and then washed by me - you can see large square pads for brembo calipers)
P.S. when i installed tech said they were like 80% left ( so I decided to keep them instead of buying new) - that's for me 1-2 years of driving lol (I don't drive much due to constant study process - I'm in med.school and have no life basically, except modding x5 and exams lol) |
So , even with the pads (80 % ) came with the caliper i am not sure if its a good idea to use them with the new rotors BUT i am glad that you did save money and work well for ya
.. i found on ebay set of all 4 calipers but $1500 .. and if put on top rotors, sensors , pads ... cuz dont know how good are they .... i guess shipping too..... better jump on MPBK for $2300
