Pads - Useable?

[Deezer-D]

Got 2 sets of pads when I bought my APs. One set is 13mm thick (including backing plate) and the other set is 9mm (again including backing plate).

First set - 13mm

Theres's a chunk missing from one of the pads - can these be used again?

Second set - 9mm

The pad on the top right is the lowest of the 4 and the one I took the thickness on.

Pads are DS2500 that I know aren't the favoured pad here but would they be ok for daily driving? Would be a shame to junk 2 sets of pads

Don't seem to be crumbly at all

Don't seem to be crumbly at all I would put them in ......





but dont use 'em unless you have too !!!! :hahaha:.

Someone with more sense will comment soon enough, joking aside, I would give them a go .... they would go well with my set up Cups I have on !

If the pad material is solid and not dodgy id def put them on.

Alternatively sell then to Duncan.

Cheers shimmy. Got a set of Bluestuff NDX in at the minute but these don't meet Regulation 90 so are apparently not road legal. Also been told Reg 90 only applies to OEM brakes and not aftermarket brake kits. Not sure if I should just stick to the NDX, fit the DS2500s or buy a set of RS29s
