By any chance do you have any pictures of what that looks like? Totally agree, I’m not looking to take any chances here. But when I looked under the car (which is relatively new to me) all I saw was...

Which model quick jack do you have, or do you know the max spread? I was looking at the 7000TL, but max spread between lifting points is 60" and by my rough measurements the jackpoints on my SQ7 are...

I see, you're saying jack up one whole side of the car from one corner (front or rear)? I've never done it that way before, that's safe?

Jacking the vehicle for brake replacement

I've searched and haven't found a really clear answer to this - I'm planning on doing my brakes soon, and have purchased jack pad adapters to fit into the notch at the jacking points.

My question...

Yeah I've looked for SQ8 rotors as well and have bugged them on that forum, unfortunately it seems to be the same situation. I do think they have the same rotor, just no aftermarket there either,...

Yeah I'm heavily leaning that way right now. So far the only evidence of quality I have is that the factory pads lasted a measly 30k miles. Not sure why I'd dump 3 grand on replacing those with the...

Price difference is massive. FCP Euro quotes $621 front right, $776 front left (why there's a $150 price difference between practically identical rotors... I have no idea). Those are about the best...

Got it thanks. I would normally do pads and rotors together, but with the insane cost of OE rotors, I'm debating between 1. pads only (I guess I'll have to pull the rotors first and mic them), 2....

Do folks recommend replacing the rotors every time as well? Audi certainly does, but I'm seriously considering that rotors with 33k on them should last quite a bit longer, and maybe just a pad slap...

Do you use some sort of adapter to fit into the factory jack point, or if not where do you fit this for jacking up the vehicle?

Brake pad wear indicator going off on new-to-us SQ7

So... pretty irritating. We bought this car used at 31k miles about 2 months ago and the brake pad wear indicator went off. On quick visual inspection, it appears the pads are pretty thin on all 4. ...
