2 Seat Stradale

[Gazcw]

Have we found any alternative pads yet? My rears are virtually at the pins..

Similar for Bentleys. £12,600 for just the front CC discs and pads. A frightening prospect to be the owner when they need to be replaced, but genuinely one of the best features of the car.

Even the steel brakes on the Speed were, without doubt, the best brakes I've ever known. At the time, the largest ever to be fitted to a production car, I believe

Try contacting Brembo directly rather than going through an MD, you may get lucky?

You’ll get nowt from Brembo, they deny they even exist. Your best bet is @A.S. Motorsport

Good idea. They will be toast by Le Mans I reckon. I am going to post them to the dealer when swapped with a told you so message.

If you don't get why the carbon brakes are installed, you're just not trying hard enough.

Seems priced about right in the current market for a private sale of a Strad with that mileage. Good luck to the seller.
As a guide, I just sold mine for about 10% more, but it had 10k fewer miles, plus the cage and harnesses (and stickers!).

Couldn't agree more. Carbon ceramics have now become a wish list item for future toys.

That was a good buy for someone - a car that wants for nothing should return a premium.

 

[Gazcw]

I think that looks like good value.

What on earth they did to need to replace the brakes at such low miles is an obvious question.

My thoughts exactly. Mine is on 62k and not had them yet as far as I can tell. GULP!

Wow, how come? I thought you were thoroughly devoted to the 2-seater series.

Not an alternative but at least they are on the shelf in the UK, not always the case with low volume spares

I was wondering if brake pads for CC discs were so expensive due to the low volume of production/sales until I bought some rear pads, fitting kit and sensors for my car through a Bentley contact for £200 delivered. Having paid over £600 less than RRP I realised it's yet another tax applied for no other reason than to excessively profit from them.

I think it is due to environmentalists. It's another carbon tax

Cheers Stuart, I have used these part numbers to search recently to no avail. Plenty of other car owners seem to switch out to different pads when on ceramics. Guess I will need to make some calls.

Scandalous - let's hope that your Bentley contact can become a Maserati contact also

Are the brakes not the same a several Ferrari models? I thought the Stradale used the same Brembos as the California and 458?

Fronts yes, rears not so much sadly.

Makes my two pairs of uprated 4.7 steel discs look positively cheap

I wonder what the comparison would look like for OEM discs and pads v carbon
