Simon have you got the part number for those pads please?

Go on the amazon.com site and they are much cheaper than the ones coming up in the link. I paid just over $300 early last year for both sets which at the time was app £215 inc shipping and duties.

Question for both Alps and Simon around their ceramic pads.

How many miles have you used them for?

Do you notice any squealing?

How are the discs holding up?

The last time I used red stuff they ate discs for fun.

No squealing at all with Akebono. I've had them on for app 18 months, but my mileage has dropped in past 12 months so probably covered app 8K miles with them. Not noticed any adverse wear on the discs tbh.
