Great feedback

Thanks rcasey, I will look into the europads before I commit to buying any parts. Good heads up on the wear sensor also, I would have bought two for the front. gregg3, I wil see if I can get a picture of the service alert I am receiving, I am assuming I have about a month (600mls) before i need to do the work.

lt2mc: I failed to mention in my earlier post, the Akebono pads were essentially dust free as were the EBC Red Stuff pads, and the braking performance on both were as good as the OEM pads in normal day to day driving.

When my front brake sensor went off I was almost 2,000 miles from home, and I drove the car home.

There was still plenty of 'meat' left on the pads when I replaced them weeks later.

Please note, I am NOT RECOMMENDING that you follow in my tire tracks.

Be safe,
Dick Casey
