DonB Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hello All, I am at the 18k interval and need to replace the pads on my 07 RT. Anyone have suggestions as to where to order them? Local dealer, parts house, etc? I am satisfied with the oem pad and am looking to replace with the same. Thanks Don Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Try Cyclebrakes.com. I have used them many times and have always been satisfied. Shawn Link to comment
Twisties Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Our local independent BMW specialty shop sells the EBC HH line. You can get them at the link Shawn provided. I think the OEM pads are like two to three times as much money and are available only from a BMW dealer. I have like 20k miles on the front with the EBCs and they are doing fine. Still have my rear OEM pads. Might need to replace them at the next service interval. Link to comment
JayW Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I got mine from Chicago BMW with their usual 20% discount. I also tend to favor the OEM pads. Jay Link to comment
SageRider Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am at the 18k interval and need to replace the pads on my 07 RT.... To clarify, are your pads actually worn or do you think they need to be replaced due to the mileage interval? Link to comment
Toto Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Something must be wrong with the way I ride, I have 39,500 on the OEM pads. Planning to replace at next tire change (front due in about 1,000 miles) Link to comment
DonB Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Around 18k seems convenient. Visual inspection looks to be about 1/8-1/4 inch pad material on the rear pads (one side pad worn more than the other) and a little more than that on the front. Seems I procrastinate a lot and want to have the pads on hand when needed. I know aftermarket pads are much cheaper and don't mind going that way just want to be sure I don't wreck the discs. You high-mileage guys, what do you use? Thanks Again Don Link to comment
