Incase people didnt see my question in the KVR posting...wondering -

Can someone confirm something for me....I think i remember reading or hearing a while back that Carbon Fibre brake pads will significantly reduce the amount of brake dust i have...is that true

Hey Jason also when i go on their site and look for front break pads...it lists the price at $76 - is that for the pair you think? I dont think they come in singles only in pairs so i assume it is for a pair?

When KVR prices pads - it's for the pair.

When they price Rotors - it's each.

Thanks Dave...its about time to change my front breaks anyways and I think its worth the money to buy the carbon fibre and change them myself, in the front for now...Save me tons of money that i spend on Meguiars Hot Rims cleaner every month to keep the damn white rims clean

55,000 on mine, Avante said that my next service i would likely need a change...i was suprised too..I gear down all the time instead of breaking...Dont know whether its a cash grab...havent checked myself, and actually i dont know how to gauge how much is left on a break pad myself
