OEM rear brake discs badly gouged Posted by magalar [Email] (#1325) [Profile/Gallery] (more from magalar) on Wed, 22 Jan 2014 07:58:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hi everyone,
I just did the 4 discs and pads on the XWD. I had to buy OEM rear discs, as there is no aftermarket supplier for these. The rear hub on the XWD is of the same size as the front, albeit the vented disc diameter is the normal Aero size, 292 mm.
Anyway, I bought good standard quality FEBI pads from my usual local supplier. Now, 3 months and less than 2000 km later, the discs are badly gouged, as if there is some very hard bits in the pads. Both discs are identicaly damaged.
What happened ? Are these made in Germany OEM discs known to be super soft ? Are the FEBI pads known to be hard on the discs ?
