Hi Dan

We are used Performance Friction Z-rated pads in our K-Sport and they're been machined to fit,as I remember we are paid just £15 for machining

18mm pads will fit K-Sport/D2 too,but discs must be worn,they will not fit without the machining newer discs

Agree I've forgot to say on yours few threads and really I apologise for this,sorry

It's ok Jura it's not your fault. You have been more than helpful over a few things. It's a pity that I was never told by the supplier that I would either have to have worn discs for them to fit which is just daft. Or the fact I have to get then machined to fit, which again is daft. It's a bit like buying a shirt, would you buy one that's too big and you have to shrink it too fit? Or put weight on to make it fit. Even after it was proved that the pads were the wrong size nothing got offered as compensation. Like I've said you live and learn and in the future I will be recommending and using Godspeed.

Brakes seem fine, better than standard by a fair bit.
