Thanks in advance

use them with normal disc- they direct replacment for your pads , working with sensors. Didnt notice any difrent in stopping power /durability .Work like normal/bmw one for me.
I put them on front axel only , no need for rear in my opinion ( low dust anyway).

Hi marisuz

Absolutely agree about not doing the rears. Low dust as you said.

Where did you buy your pads from and who did you fitting? Are they priced similar to oem? I sometimes get squeaking from my oem pads so eould love to try something different.

What is the method to check wheel torques?

I regularly have my winter and summer wheels changed on my car twice a year and wonder if the dealership is using the correct torque settings.

Thanks

They are comfortable @ 140Nm, you can jack up the wheel so it just touch's the ground slack them off and re tighten them to 140Nm.

Hi John

Thanks for your reply!

Sorry to sound trivial, I'm not too great with torques, how do I measure the nm? Ie what equipment do I need?

Ps love the exhaust pipe finishes!

Again looks oem with a touch of class!
Well done!

Torque wrench, screw fix should have a cheapish one.

Did you ask the dealership to have the wheels this colour or did the recommend?

The wheels sets the moonstone off very well!

I specced those wheel colours, I thought they would look great with the moonstone.
