So I decided to replace my stuffed rear pads with some "OEM" specification pads....Bosch make an OEM replacement pad, so I thought I'd give it a shot...couldn't hurt, right?

BIG mistake. Take a look at the below picture and keep in mind, these pads were professionally installed and have done less than 200 kilometres on freshly machined rotors.



What you can see is a rotor that has been gouged out way beyond use. I can't have them machined again, to machine off that much material will make them below minimum thickness....so basically, the Bosch pads have fucked the rotors in less than 200km.


Note to self - DO NOT buy those pads ever again.
