| Ok, it's my turn for brakes
The rears on my 500 will need replacement soon - like in 4K, and I turned dowm the OEM stuff becasue of the noise during cold weather. I've not yet read anything aftermarket that'll do the job. Someone told me to get Akibuto pads - are they really that good? Anyone used them on a 500 and how did they perform. Also, if you've recently done a break job with OEM pads, you probably have the redesigned/reformulated ones. Post your experience in cold weather. Thanks. |

Hey "D".......
l had my brakes done about six months ago....what a difference..They went with the updated pads....Trust me, up here in the Ontario area, we have been getting hammered with cold weather and quite a bit of snow....all has been dead quiet........
Here are some numbers.........as per the my last bill.......
Perform as per TSB 804 revised group 42.10
1- 163-420-11-20- Brake pads.
2- 001-989-94-51- Brake paste.
l'm sure as well, that these numbers are on Wolfgang's site...take a peek....l hope this helps.... |
