Its fantastic.I don't need hand controls to drive so that isn't an issue, the hand brake doesn't even work, its really loose and I got sick and tired of paying $45 for them to tighten it to just have it loose again a couple of weeks again. SO the hand brake is not an issue. I don't ride the brakes or anything like that. The dealer just rang me to explain and he states I need two new tyres, two new discs and two new pads.←Mate.I did 80k on my standard disc rotors so there is something not right.You had the premo brakes too.Yeah my handbrake never worked aswell :hiwelcome: Edited 13/02/07 08:37 AM by FPV TRANNY

Hows all your kids going?80000 ks is what I would expect out of these brakes. Not 30000.

I did 25000 km with my BA MkII GT and I flogged it and the brakes were still fine. I think they are trying to make a bit of money off you.
