especially the last paragraph on what my next set of Pagid Blue's will cost me and the reason why.

Can you say $560 per front/rear set or $500 ea if I buy two at the same time!?!

Like MikTip says; "gotta pay to play" and while I dont believe sub $2k to be a spendy brake conversion for front/rears I most certainly DO think $500 for pads is SPENDY play!!

But... (anyone guess whats coming?) if you're gonna be a dog, why be a chihuahua!?!<ul><li><a href="http://forums.audiworld.com/9080/msgs/225068.phtml">Pagid Blues for non-matched Porsche setup</a></li></ul>

dear lord and all that is holy!!!! That's the cheapest you could find pads for 4 corners!?!?!?!?!?! For some reason, that seems overly steep to me, but what do I know =P Miktip's right... gotta pay to play :-x

I spend $291 on mine and that was rather spendy to me... but in hindsight WELL worth the investment. I'll stick with my easy A8 upgrade and keep the "cheap" stock sized pads :)

And if ya ever wanna drive that beast out to the VA coast to see how it handles at VIR or something please feel free :) THey're having a driving school beginning of dec... all I knw is I want a ride :)

I can find Pagid Blues. I can go stock Porsche Textar for 1/3 that price but as you've just found out Pagid Blues are not just any ol pad.

The Pagids are expensive to begin with and breaking up matched sets to fit the calipers I'm running causes them hassles I guess and leaves them with extra fronts/rears they have to order in to make complete sets.

I meant that's as cheap as you could find the pagids... damn man, that's sick ;) But after putting htem on my car, and then swapping them back to the pagid blacks i had before you are completely hands down correct about those pads. they are amazing... now if only i could make sure they don't squeel next time i get them on the car ;)

I really look forward though to see how that brake setup performs... i'm thinking you're gonna find yourself almost biting the steering wheel first time around ;)
