    They have a sale on at the moment with Bosch, Brembo, DBA, Protex and TRW disks/pads. Their prices are good so if you need brakes you may as well buy them now.

    Hi Lucas.....why did you go with Bosch rather than the ATE discs ?

    Price basically. The ATE disks were going to cost about $750-800 and I got the Bosch on sale for just under $300. I couldnt resist the price and they wont be any worse than my factory shagged disks.

    Did you get new pads....after limited driving on my new ceramic pads i must say the dust is very minimal if at all.

    I have the ATE Ceramic pads which have been on the car for about 2,500kms. Dust is very low (although not as good as the Akebono pads on my SQ5) but my original disks are well worn so just wanted to get new disks.
