matthend Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I am going to do the brakes when i put my new tires on (if the front ever arrives!!) I read somewhere on here to buy two and use one of the old front sets on the back. Is that actually kosher? I am kind of on a budget and every last nickel helps... Thanks!

JB4XX Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 not cool Matt I have several sets of brake pads sitting here and can help if you want to ride out sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthend Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Josh, thanks for the advice and I will not be switching my old pads for sure. Your offer is very generous and I would love to ride out and check out the stable you have also. I will have to wait till i get my front tire and get them installed though, I wouldnt trust my old ones to ride on. If you dont mind, I may give you a yell once i get them on and ride out your way. Thanks again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I tend to rotate the pads around to even out the wear, then replace them all at once. They wear unevenly due to the DCBS, particularly if you use the rear a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that all the time, so far have replaced the fronts twice with EBC HH and used the worn ones (~2/3-3/4 gone) in the rear brakes as the rears wear a lot slower than the front :icon_think: Works OK for my 98 and my 300lb's anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
