Used... heh heh
The story goes like this... When I got my car, the rear brake was squealing. Changed to these pads thinking it would eliminate the squeal. Squeal came back after a few days. Did the whole lot, skimmed rotors, greased the hubs internal, etc.. squeal keeps coming back. Gave up on finding the source...till when I saw V-Spec's pads.. they have metal shims on it !!! Mine came with some rubber-vinyl 1-2mm pad-like things acting as the shims. Got myself some 2nd hand shims, whack them on and whalla ! Squeal finally gone ! Whilst putting on these shims, I realize my front pads are of Endless cc-X :shocked:. Came back took out the old original pads that came with car.. clean them a little to remove the layer of brake dust.. lo behold.. cc-Xs as well. Decided to put back on the cc-X as they are 0-700 degrees pads :regular_smile: They have at least 70% of meat left on them.
Anyway, after doing so, I decided to give it a try to sell these VN9500s off:bandit:. Part number EP231VN. The box says it's for R32 GTR (non brembo), R33 and ER34. Takes heat up to 300 degrees (or is it 350 degrees?). I wouldn't say item as good as new, but it must have at least 90% meat on it. mileage done on it was about 8k. Was on my car for about 3months plus. This is the rear brake, hence the wear much slower. I am not keeping the pads for future replacement as when my pads wear out, am thinking to up my set to GTR's brembos :)
Asking RM175 (half the price I paid for it : plus ngam ngam to fund my samco hoses). Still have the original box & receipt.
PM me or call me @ 012-3250585 (Ben).
