any more?

i'd say depends how old the pads are, if they are getting low in pad material change em.

Also check them when you change them to make sure there are no nasty grooves or trapped stone etc that will duck up your disks.

If you have £170 spare change em, (for uprated fast road pads).

As above - It really does depend on the condition of the pads, anymore than 50% wear or deep grooves and I'd be inclined to change them.

it looks like i have high spots on the old pads-discs are not clean in some areas,get it sorted now or give it a couple of weeks to see if pads bed in to new discs-will discs warp in a short time,there is no juddering on braking

safer to get new pads, not worth risking brand new disks for the what it costs to change the pads.

pads will go before disks, so you could always save them to put on when the disks arn't brand new and you need to fit new pads again.

If the pads are badly scored you could end up warping the discs due to the high spots and high heat build up, if not very carefully bedded in. Buy new pads it s the brakes, the most important part of the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i had a set of new pads to put on car but was told old pads were fine,but now looks like high spots-pain in the ..
