Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 16, 2008 got some pads with some calipers i bought, the pads are like new but have been used (not very much) but they have been put in a box with the braking surface touching the back of the next pad, meaning there is copper grease on the braking side on 3 of the 4 pads. would i be wise just to bin them and get new ones, i had planned to buy new discs and pads all around anyway so getting the pads with the calipers was an added bonus really Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted August 16, 2008 Yeah they'll be ok as long as they are not too old - it's oil you don't want... You should always sand old pads if re-using with different discs etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted August 16, 2008 so if i just clean them and sand a little they will be alright? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted August 16, 2008 yeah they'll be fine. No point chucking away nearly new pads. Or send them to me for my 280s :norty: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
