Default Pad change needed

Hi all

Front offside pad wear indicator is rattling at me - bit of a sod as Ive only had the car 3 weeks. (MY01)

Anyway I can see that I should change both fronts at the same time but would you recommend changing all four sets together?

Thanks for your advice.

David

ps This is a garage job, my spanner days are over...........................

pps Just ch3ecked the service history, they were changed at 30,500 and 'refaced' at 34,760 - its now at 36,300.

Cheers

No point changing rears if not worn.

Just change the fronts unless the back are in bad shape too,fronts wear faster than the rear..Its probably the discs that were re-faced,it might be worth changing them at the same time,they are cheap and good quality from www.brakesinternational.com

I'd personally stick to oem pads and brakes int new discs.
