Just changed 2 pot front calipers for 4 pot ones and put ebc redstuff ceramic pads in.Fitted s/steel braided hoses all round.What i'd like answered is this;the rear brakes are o/e pads as far as i'm aware with plenty of wear left on them,do i need to change them to redstuff pads to match the front or as the rear brakes don't do too much anyway can i leave them and replace with redstuff when they are worn out ?

Anybody with any idea ???

Nobody ? Nothing ?

I left mine standard at the rear and the braking was fine, although I have to admit it was better when I eventually changed the rears as well. Pad life not good though, about 7000 miles front and about 18000 rear on redstuff.

Thanks for that. Was that with brake lines changed as well ? 7000 miles !! Wonder if that's about the average with these pads ??

low mileage seems to be a frequent complaint........................

replied to your PM, but basically some get away with std stuff - some don't

personally i would always try and match the pad characteristics front and rear
