Default Godspeed v OEM usage

In order to justify the spend on something like the Godspeed kit for my RB5, I need to figure out how many times I would need to replace OEM style discs for every Godspeed disc......

Anyone have any sensible estimates at this??

My thinking is:

OEM style front discs with say Ferodo DS2500 pads = £60 + £135 = £195

Godspeed = £550

Difference = £355

OEM style discs + fitting = £60 + £60 say = £120

Difference divided by OEM replacements = £355 / £120 = 2.95

Sooooooooo if the Godspeed lasts 3 times as long as an OEM style, then I can justify outlay to Mrs RB5#054. What say you?????

I think your numbers for the Godspeed kit are wrong.

Only the rotors wear out and they should be somewhere around £300.
