Dumb ****s like you give me every reason to be a **** about it, ****. It's like me telling you to watch out for explosive armadillos. Not fact based or useful.

You take an everyday driven car in the normal stop and go traffic of every metropolitan area to a track.. You following me here? You pull out your bad a$$ USED track pads and throw them on to rotors that you just pulled in on.. Still with me? You jump on that track with your fancy new to you track pads and street rotors that have been naturally abused in traffic and you're asking for trouble. Get the point? How do I know? I work on cars for a living. I've seen many dorks just like you talk crap without even a lick of common sense, but thats ok. Were all different for a reason, and thankfully in your case, comic relief is a good thing.. Free bump to the OP! Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk |

Don't recommend something you won't buy yourself, I'd really hate to see my friend get hurt because of your recommendation.

FWIW, as it applies to re-using pads on a different set of rotors: fairly regularly I rotate my pads, swapping outside-left-wheel to inside-right-wheel and vice-versa, to even out any uneven wear (from tracks running CW or CCW with a predominant turn direction, I figure there's heavier wear on the tire carrying more force under braking - who knows, something does eventually though, random factors?). So I'm sure they re-mate to new rotor surfaces fine, mine always do.

Maybe it's me, but I see inaccurate information posted on both sides. Generally you want to avoid race pads used because you don't kno how they were bedded in. They won't be as effective without the proper brake in. New rotors are nice, but you are not going to have a failure without it.

IT'S HIS WTB THREAD IN A (PRIMARILY USED) CLASSIFIED FORUM There is nothing wrong with a good set of used pads. Sincerely, A Douchebag PS Nitwits: I pm'd him info a week ago on where get super discounted CT's and other types of new pads if he wanted. Something track guys share with track guys and not ricers.
