It's the OEM front disks that are expensive. THe rears aren't too bad, although that's still a good price

Personally, i lean towards the poorly bedded in pad concept. But then i've not seen the brakes.

Keep a close eye on it. If it did stick or seize, i guarentee it will do it again.

Thanks Rich, will do. Fortunately, I'm much easier on the brakes on road than on track but it's certainly something to watch on the next trackday. Talking of which, haven't you organised one yet? I mean it's only been 2 days!
